Some one please correct me if I am wrong on this one but 15w-50 and 20w-50
are the same weight once the engine had heated up.  The 15w-50 may help you
start when it is below freezing.

Personally I run the cheapest "brand name" oil I can find and I change it
on the turn of the season for cheap insurance and piece of mind.  Spring
and summer I run 20w-50 in all my VWs, Fall I run 15w-40 and winter where
it gets down to -40 at time 5w-30.
