Finally I decided I had to do something at 200k and changed the oil with Redline MTL. The MTL didn't shift as smooth so I switched back to the VW oil after 30k with the Redline. The 200k original oil was a little dark and burnt but it was still felt like oil should feel and now I will change the oil at the max of 100k.

I was doing a lot of commuting in LA at the time. Don't really miss it.
I do have a 6MT and have never touched the trans oil @ 114k miles. Coming up on the major timing belt service now.
