There is no oils with proper vw standard (vw 506.01 or higher) with 0W20 so I would not put it in my engine. If you can find a oil with proper vw spec please let me know. If it fulfills the standard then it should be ok. I will propably put next time Agip 7007 0W-30 which is cheapest or new 0W-30 from agip which is called i-sint tech. Newer oil should be better so might try that new version.
Red Line Synthetic Oil - Gear Oil for Manual Transmissions - MTL 70W80 GL-4 Gear Oil
For gearbox I will try redline MTL which is 70W80, but still fulfills API GL-4. VW recommends 75W90. If you have balls to test the best option would be redline shockproof light.
Red Line Synthetic Oil - Gear Oil for Manual Transmissions - Lightweight ShockProof®
Gearbox oil change interval is 30000km if I have proper data.
