You can also try changing your oil to M1 15w50 full synthetic that helped me with my cold start rattling issues and the engine seems to run smoother along with the vanos idle clacking noises going away.
Personally I use mobile 1 extended performance and change every 5k but I’m a bit of an oil critic
Tengo un Vento 2.0 TSI gen3 que cuando lo compré usaba Elaion F50 sintético 10w40 y lo consumía. Cambié a Mobil 1 FS 0w40 y no consume más...
I used to do Motorcraft 5w20 but I ended up switching to Mobil 1. It just performed better in the car and made the engine run smoother and quieter.
Our engines were originally designed for 5W30, so that's what I use. Namely Mobil 1 High Mileage.
I have a 22 Tiguan and did the first oil change myself around 5K miles. This is what I ended up using. I found it locally so that was a plus, Mobil 1™ ESP X2 0W-20 .
Been using Mobil 1 for over 20 years. Never had any issues.
Mobil1. I use 10w30 in the Texas summer heat and 5w30 in the winter. 2006 c280 with 185k
Mobil 1 extended oil. Full synthetic 5W30 changed every 12,000km. Mine burns about 1 litre (pint) per every 1,500-2,000km. So I top up a few times between full on oil changes
I've posted my UOAs on TDIClub and BITOG. The factory fill was additive depleted at 5400 miles. The Fuchs 507.00 in the next fill was good for 7-7500 miles. It might have gone longer, but I changed it out in advance of a long trip. Bottom line is that preliminary evidence is that the 507 oils are inadequate for extended OCIs in the 3.0L motor.
