I went from 20w60 to 10w50 and now I don’t get that cold start rattle. If you’re in a super cold part of the world I’d go for a 10w or 5w oil, with a higher 2nd number for good viscosity for an engine @170,xxx kilometres. Also, make sure you run quality oil filters, like Mann filters as the cheaper filters seem to not have very good quality anti-drainback check valves in them.

Got a workshop quote me for engine oil change $550. I do it myself with liquid moly and Mann oil filter cost me $200.
It's fun DIY your car, changing engine oil isn't too difficult , just learn from YouTube.
And it's only takes 30 mins to do it.
It’s not the worst I’ve seen. But - I’d go back to stock and change the Mann filter every few months……

MANN 811/80 or O.E. oil filter exclusively to maintain oil pressure as designed by Hyundai engineers.
Mann is OE and generally considered superior to anything else available other than the Genuine Mann part.
Liqui Moly Leichtlauf High Tec 5w-40 Oil Change with Mann Filter
Sure, VW does not make oil or filters, but it's easy to find out who makes those products for VW. VW has a lot riding on what they recommend a lot more than NAPA. Is there any reason why you trust NAPA vs VW? Do yourself a favor, get an OEM filter and an oil that passes VW specs. MANN, Hengst, and Mahle and the common OEM filters [in that order].
Can go wrong with Mann filters.
