What do you use for engine oil?

Wait, I thought these engines were water cooled, not oil cooled.

Just finished a shorter interval with Castrol 0W40, currently have Pennzoil 0W40 in the sump. Previous owner ran M1 0W40.
If I ever do a track day, I'll probably look at FSI's recommendations, otherwise I'll stick with a brand name xW40, a 5K interval, and not sweat it too much.

And, FWIW, Motul 8100 5w40, Wix 51042 filters on a LN spin-on filter adapter. 5 liter jugs of Motul usually run about $35 shipped through Amazon Prime, a little less if you catch a sale elsewhere.

I like to wait outside my local autozone with empty milk jugs and buy oil from people bringing it in to recycle..... J/K. Oil preference is almost as daunting as the age old: blonde, brunette or redhead question.

BTW: I am in Houston and run Mobil 1 5/40 FWIW.

Not only is google a better search engine for rennlist, it also includes Renntech, Planet9 & others that have great content scattered amidst the chatter.
