1993 Corrado 2.9 VR6

Could someone tell me what type of motoroil is best used in a VR6 engine if used in all weather types. Perhaps you could tell me if you have good or bad experiences with the different brands that are on the market. And what kind of types of motoroils is best used in all the different weather conditions that strikes us everyday. Greetz Johan

Thanks Jeroen for your comment. My Corrado is from the year 1993. But does this matter a lot? And what kind of oil does VW sell. Helix Gastrol or anything else? Greetz Johan
