The Shell Helix Ultra Extra 5W30 504/507 remains stable at around $65, but I've seen it cheaper on occasion.
'07 Transporter 1.9 TDI
'01 Beetle 2.0
Ive never liked Shell Helix oil since I used it in a Taxi years ago. For some reason it drank more than an a Aussie shearer on a hot day.
Put it onto Agiip and it was 100% better, used hardly any.
Have used the Penrite 15W-40 Diesel in my Cruiser and it used hardly any at all on a 50,000k trip around the block. Only time I topped it up was when it wasnt filled properly at a service.
So for $10 will stick with it I think

My engine is one that consumes a fair amount of oil without any side effects
About 2~3 litres per 10k - no misfires, starts fine every time, no dirty bum, no oily exhaust
Because of this, and because I do the occasional track days, I wanted to try a 40 weight oil
So on my last oil change I've switched to using Penrite Enviro+ 5W-40
The engine is now quieter and feels smoother - I'm loving it
Have to admit I put some fuel injector cleaner into the tank at the same time
Because of the occasional track days and my stage 2 tune, I am changing the oil at 10k intervals (rather than 15k)
(Looking at the state of the oil coming out of the engine, I'm planning on reducing that to 8k)

^ hows the oil usage going with the slightly thicker oil? Any difference.
