If I didn't have so much 0w20 sitting around I would buy 5w20 and see if that fixes it.
aS far as the consumption goes mine doesn't use any in cold weather or city driving. But on extended high speed driving like 80mph in mountains with lots of downshifts it can us a half a quart in 1000 miles
This doesn't make any since. Oil is much thicker than it needs to be at start up, so why would a thicker oil solve the problem?
There is a possibility that TGMO is to thin for this engine at operational temperature so after engine stops cam variator can't hold oil because of low viscosity. On next start you get rattle until oil come back to the cam variator. Try switching to some thicker 0w20. This has been common issue with other manufacturers.
