The Haldex Oil is a specialist "part" as such. http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-...etrain/Haldex/ has some info on what's needed for a full Haldex oil change.

For engine oil, any oil that meets the VW specifications (which should be mentioned in your owner or service manual) will do. You own an R32 though, and I'd not be skimping on oil myself if I had one - I'd be looking for a high quality full synthetic personally.

Penrite HPR5 in my car. Just got it service yesterday by Jmac. The last batch of it has done the full 15000km service life and was in excellent condition when changed. Not dark, thick and and gluggy and still plenty there. Good stuff.
Jmac will know the full amount required.
What km service are you up to?
Cheers,
Trent

I believe semi-syth is acceptable (in that some semi-synth oils meet the VW standards), but if you've got an R32, I suspect you're not a budget shopper anyway - I'm not saying run off and pay $100+ per 5L for Royal Purple or Mobil 1, but there are some other brands out there that have a good fully synth in their range for more reasonable prices.
