Thanks for the feedback. Do any of you have this sticker in your engine compartment?

Golf R oil weight
The owners manual states that 5W-30 or 5W-40 can be used but the sticker in engine compartment states 5W-30. I’m a new owner of a 2019 R so I found that to be interesting. I’m planning on using 5W-30 since two places note 5W-30. Does anyone use 5W-40?

I’ve decided to go with 0w 30 synthetic oil. Mobil 1 makes one for a reasonable price in a 5 qt jug. However, I don’t see anywhere that it has VW 504 00 certification/standard. I’ve used Mobil 1 for years. It relatively cheap compared to Motul. Does it matter if it‘s not officially VW 504 00?
I finally decided to get Pennzoil 0W30 Euro LX which is one of the few VW 504 00 oils.
Thanks for sharing. Seems the car did not like the Castrol 0w40 if I read it right. Other than higher Boron, it seems the Pennzoil did a good job. I wonder if the results would be different after using the thinner 0w30 oil in the summer.Have you seen this see UOA of this exact oil (and others) for a GOLF R?
