The grade varies between different oil companies, the best one is generally agreed to be Total Quartz 9000 5w40.

i was using castrol 5w-40 for two years and my gti was burning it up like crazy. basically had to top it up every 2 months. I've since switched to valvoline 10w-40 and its a major difference as it doesn't get burnt up much at all. Been thinking of giving Shell a try too as my peugeot garage uses shell.
