Better to drain it and fill it with the correct / genuine oil, to be easier when warm suggests oil that is too thick.

Has it started doing it since you changed the oil? Or did it prompt the change?

This can be just a symptom of age, as the synchros start to wear you'll require more shift effort.

What condition was the old oil when you drained it? I would pickup the correct VW spec oil from VW parts counter/TPS and change it, worth checking shifter adjustment too?

Any idea whether the clutch has ever been changed?
