are you planning do an oil change? or just top up? do you no what oil was previously used?
10-40 fully synth
5-40 fully synth

Tappy when cold?? Or all the time.

As for oil 10-40 or 5-40 should do itm some people use thinner 5-30. Depends what your service intervals are too really. I use change oil in the gti every 8k and i used 10-40 oil from dealers.  :wink:
