Well, I used to use Motul E-tech 8100 0w-40, however, it is being phased out. When I talked to a gentleman from Motul today, he said that i should use Motul Specific 505.01/502.00/505.00, and that it was better for my car because it was specifically formulated for VW specifications. I asked him specifically if it was a Group V, and he confirmed this several times. I tried to look on Motul's website and it didn't have much. Anyone use this oil or know anything else about this oil?
