How much better is that than something like say carplan

I have no problems with Carplan oil (I sold it for several years), as long as it meets VW 505 01 it will be fine. The only thing I can say about my oil is it is from VW so defiantly exceeds there spec's (it is same stuff as used in a vw dealership oil change)
