Yeah you should watch... right now the top 2 I'd say is *drum roll*

Castrol SLX (there is a vw50x.x) compliant (they have these in 5L apparently somewhere)

Penrite Enviroplus 5w40

These are approved ie. they are approved by VW rather than made to specification like the Nulon, here's an exert from the website about the Nulon :
Meets or exceeds the specifications of the following vehicle manufacturers:
Ford : M2C-153E
Holden : HN 2314
Mercedes Benz : MB 229.1
Volkswagen : VW 500.00, 505.00

It meets or exceeds however isn't approved this oil is only approved for :
Approvals and Specifications
American Petroleum Institute : API SL/CF
European : ACEA A2/B2-02, A3/B3-98, ILSACGF3
Society of Automotive Engineers : SAE 10W-30

Sooo yeah, something I learnt on the forum

Only EnviroPlus 5W30 is approved by VW for 504.00 and for 507.00 the other Penrite products are not approved they are only made to VW standards, which means not approved.

You are right I had a look today for my Oil, and it was 5w30, it says on the bottom Made for Volkswagens...
I'm using it atm and so far so good, it's driven 6000 km's already and not a drop less has been burnt. It's very hard to be honest finding a vw approved oil, and so it's best to stick the same oil once you find your ideal oil.
