I had been using 0w40 castrol and switched to m1 after reading several threads here praising it over the castrol since it has lost some certs with its latest blend, however my 2006 Vw Rabbit has developed chain noise with this oil.
I have done two OCI with it and after about 2k the noise appears.
The 2.5 motor from 2005-2007 had chain issues and was corrected in the 2008 year. I have 183k on the motor and would like to baby the chains as much as I can.
Should I use LL-01 simce its a chain specific cert?
Would it serve to return to the 0W40 castrol or is there something out there with a higher HTHS that I can get at my local Walmart?
