oil, use LiquiMoly. German oil for German cars.
I did ea888 to 155k. 5k oil changes. Change the damn pcv at like 40k IMO maybe 30k. A bad pcv will give you leaks everywhere so just swap em.
The recommended Castrol isn't bad, but I've had better success with Mobil1 and Liquid Moly.
Try using liqui moli engine oil, change the air filter too.
Perhaps using a lower weight, full synthetic engine oil would build pressure faster and reduce the noise.
After completing the 1000 km run in and going through the first service where I got Cepsa xtar 10w40 oil, the gearbox remained hard, compared to my previous F650 bmw.
Did some digging regarding engine oil and how I could improve my gear shifting experience, engine smoothness and durability and the choice was either Motul 7100 or LiquiMoly Street Race 10w40. Decided on Liqui Molly and definitely I am noticing much smoother gear shifts and maybe even less vibration. I am surprised. The change is definitely noticeable.
5w40 liquidmoly
Imo Mobil 1 is mid grade at best. Liqui-moly is the only thing I’ve used for the last 5 years, I too started with Mobil 1, then switched to liquimoly (same weight) and the engine was immediately quieter, smoother, and ran cooler.
Never had any luck doing an oil change every 10K miles on any cars in my fleet. However, with a new car that’s hybrid that I bought last year, I’m praying that I can push the oil change interval every 10K
Liqui moly apparently it’s not good oil, they’re just good at marketing
