The oil has to be LL-01 certified.
The only one widely available option (read Walmart) is Mobil 1 Euro Formula 0-W40 which is also LL-01 certified.

I thought one could go to a VW dealer and buy a Castrol Professional SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil there that's identical to the European product. And thankfully, there are still more VW dealers than Walmarts...
