Like if using Liquid Moly Mos2 leichtlauf has help quieten my engine ticking noise (mileage about 100k km).
I stand by Redline 5w20. Not that I have bad “hemi tick” on my 5.7 but I swear the valvetrain is the quietest when I use that oil.
My 2015 1.8 used to drink a piss load of oil when I first got it at about 100k miles. I switched to Liquid Moly or Mobil 5w40 every 7500 miles and it stopped on it’s own.
I personally use Red-Line products, and it's the absolute BEST products out there. Their 2 Stroke racing no smoke oil is OUTSTANDING and 2nd to none.
Liqui-Moly Leichtlauf 5w40 FTMFW! Switched at \~30k and now going on 90k...both run smooth as silk and don't burn any oil at all...
I used the correct spec 0w20 for 150,000 miles and then switched to 5w30. We’re at 208,000 miles now and running great. Always LiquiMolly
You're going to be fine with 5w40 the thinner oil is for fuel economy but heavier oil will make your car last longer so that's the tradeoff.... If you are in a warmer climate then a lower starting weight would matter but I'm in Canada and I'll be running 5w40 liqui moly all year every year.
Also will help with oil consumption.
Been using Liqui-Moly 4200 5w30 and I don't lose/burn any oil (yet).
I too have a 2013 passat with the CKRA, I’m currently at 175k miles. I do my oil change every 7500 miles. I only use liqui-moly top tech 4200 5w-30. I usually never have to add oil between changes unless a lot of hard driving in the summer.
Yamalube is a good oil, nothing special. Get a more premium oil if you care about smoother, stronger performance.
