Try the Rotella 10w-30 T5. Thin oil may work better to free things up.
Pros: may free things up

Pros: C grade oil

This is a 2009 GTI, just over 27k miles on the car, and 10,000 miles on Rotella T6. Car is tuned APR stage 1 93 octane, and has a Carbonio intake. I had some concern that maybe I didn't oil the air filter enough, and it looks like that is verified with the high silicon.
Pros: good oil, easy to find
Cons: high silicon
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 10000 km
Just changed my oil @ 2k with Rotella T6. Sounds much quitters and feels a lot smoother. I've always used this and it's a damn good oil.
Pros: Sounds much quitters, feels smoother
