X 3 always full....i always have used magnatec its 100% synthetic...also its what a VW place put in it when i first got the car serviced....u need to make sure you dont just buy the filter off the shelf....the valvoline filter off the shelf will fit but is 1/2 the size of the OEM filter....You dont want no sludge!!

I am not sure yet with the new engine I have a bit of a short list:
Valvoline - Engine Armour
Fuchs - Titan GT Plus
Titan Super GTO
Castrol - Magnatec 10w 40
GTX3 15w40
Nulon - 15w40 Modern Engine Oil
Penrite - HPR 10

Most of these I think a blends.

I just changed to Mobil 1. Great stuff, no extra engine noise and running a little cooler too i think.
