I used to use 5W30 , fuel efficiency was better but the 5W40, I see handles heat better and does not get as hot as the 5W30. I also noticed since using the 5W40 the chain rattle o start up is now quieter and I only get the rattle maybe once every 6-7 start ups most times its starts up silently. just my observation i have no scientific data to back it up.

The car was on the alignment bay and I did a walk around under and all 4 shocks are dry .

I’ve also been thinking of 5W40, what VW spec is your oil? I’ve never seen oil temp over 101c though.
