Are there really no full synthetic vw508 oils?

Iirc the only options are castrol, mobile 1, liqui moly top tec and motul specific

and none of their base oils are synthetic at all.

is there any other options?

Is not having 5.08 spec oil going to cause any issues, all else being equal? Doubt it.
Castrol works for me. I'm tuned, so already going to warranty hell anyway.

It’s not official. Stick with 508. There are a few options. ExxonMobile (OEM), LiquiMoly, Ravenol, Total, Motul.

Can the newer GTI's still run a 5 weight? Thought I read some people switching back to a 5w-20/40 on the 0w GTIs.
It shouldn’t. From what I’ve gathered here and on YouTube engine clearances are the same. But the way the oil is delivered up and circulated, via the oil pump. That’s where the changes are.

dunno how accurate that is and I’m sorry if I explained things wrong

I looked it up. It’s engineered for 508 but doesn’t carry the official certification
I use it, I am not worried about warranty since I am tuned. It is green like it is suppose to be if that counts for anything lol.

What is your issue? Group 3 hydrocrack isn't syn enough for you? Approval is approval.
