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.
I refused the engine oil change -as I had plans to go the motul 7100(10w40) route- but air filter needed to be changed and so will the brake pads within the next thousand kms as informed by the service guy. After the service, I could feel a difference in the top end, as in it reaches 110 quicker, but then again might be my imagination.
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...
use motul i have a twin turbo 350 and it runs amazing
I use Motul specific 2290 5w30 full synth, I'll check oil level evey 3000km and add a little if needed, it runs ok
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 .
I usend to run syn 15w50 in my tired old vr6 all year round, it helped with seeping issues, lifter noise and all if that. but the oil pressure would be through the roof during first start. so I'd set aside a few mins in the morning to let the car idle, relax, listen to a song and let it get some heat in it. on a normal day, the star up pressure would be .5 bar past the filter bypass (10 bar), warm idle was 2 and a bit, and everything above 3.5k was back to the bypass.
