Best oils for Golf GTI MK6 at 65,000KM

[palaceone]

Hey Guys!

Just wondering what would be the best type of oil for a MK6 GTI that's done a little over 65,000KM. I've been using the recommended Castrol oil from the beginning, which has been ok but is there any types that are better, or is the Castrol the way to go?

Cheers!

the best one (in value) would be any of the following that you can buy when on sale:

Shell Helix Ultra Extra vw504.00
Penrite Enviro+ vw504.00

More options but hardly on sale or even found on Repco / Supercheapauto / Autobarn:
Motul Specific 504.00

Thanks for the reply!

Out of the choices you mentioned, what would you recommend as being the best type? To put it in perspective I do an average of 410KM every 2 weeks, with most of it being city driving. I don't mind paying a little extra if it makes a difference,

Cheers!

in that case, replace the oil every 7500km instead of 15,000km interval. no specific vw504.00 oil beats any vw504.00 fresh oil

I had a feeling that would be be an option. Thanks for the advice!
