Same issue, same engine. Switch to specifically Valvoline protect and restore 5w30, run a bottle of Berrymans B12 cleaner thru the gas tank before your oil change. I did this and saw improvements.

I'm trying out Valvoline Restore & Protect right now. I only ran oem Idemitsu before but started to have oil consumption issues with that oil the last two winters so I decided to switch.
Cons: oil consumption issues
Their most recent mistake cost me my entire vehicle. They put my oil filter cover on without an oil filter. This caused debris from less than three months to create enough friction to blow a piston arm in my engine.
Cons: blew a piston arm
