So, the cause for VANOS to work as shit was an oil. I put Motul and engine drunk it like it was a water. After oil change to Castrol magnatec, engine works like a charm.

Pros: engine works like charm

Cons: engine drunk it

I use castrol as I’m Canadian and the price to get liquimoly is unacceptably expensive imo. But if you can get it at a decent price I’d go with that.

Pros: readily available

Cons: liquimoly is expensive

If you want to do 5k oil changes, best to switch back to Castrol GTX or any cheapo oil as you'll have no significant advantage using synthetic for short periods of time.

Pros: cheaper option

Cons: no significant advantage

Mileage: 5000 km
