Question Oil: Spend more on better oil for FE?

I'm going to change the oil in my VW. It requires VW-approved oil and I have many options. Of course, I looked for low-weight oil.

I found some 0w-30 for $6.87/qt (which I bought), and later found 5w-30 for $3.80/qt (not much more than half). That's $18 difference for my 6 quart oil change.

Is it worth it? Should I make the effort to return the 0w and buy the 5w, or will the 0w pay off in FE over the 10,000 mile interval?
