So, the cause for VANOS to work as shit was an oil. I put Motul and engine drunk it like it was a water. After oil change to Castrol magnatec, engine works like a charm.
Pros: engine works like charm
Cons: engine drunk it

10w-30 FS castrol edge is what I use and I'll add Lucas oil full stabilizer to it and she loves it:')
It’s fine. I stick to the Castrol Euro as it’s readily available.
Pros: readily available
I use castrol as I’m Canadian and the price to get liquimoly is unacceptably expensive imo. But if you can get it at a decent price I’d go with that.
Pros: readily available
Cons: liquimoly is expensive
Castrol is fine. It’s literally the manufacture recommended brand
Pros: manufacture recommended
Have also used castrol once on my alltrack and I use castrol in all the cars I work on/ take care of at home and never had a problem with it.
Pros: never had a problem
I've used Castrol in all my VWs and have never had any issue.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I always use Castrol on both my Honda and Volkswagen.
Last oil change (Sep 2022, 100,094 miles), I used Castrol Edge 0W-40.
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 160903 km
Better to use cheap oil and change often than to buy expensive oil and run it out to 10k+ miles. Personally I typically use Castrol products and change my gasoline engines at 3k and Diesel engines at 5k miles.
Pros: use Castrol products
Cons: cheap oil
Vehicle:
Jeep
Mileage: 3000 km
