Rotella 15w-40 went into my 8v Jetta. Now that I have a Ford I use the regular Shell brand 10w-30. Bosch, Mahle, or Mann filters ONLY for the VW's, Motorcraft, Wix, or Napa Gold for the Fords.

On older engines I sometimes add a quart or two of ATF with the oil change to help with sticky lifters and such.
