Please use a premium filter with well known anti-drain-back valve. Most of the start-up noise I ever seen comes from 1.) a cheap filter, or a bad one; 2.) using synthetics in motors that sit for long periods where they exhibit "drain-off" due to lower surface tension ...

Delvac 15W-40 is prolly not optimal for your engine, but it generally one of the "quietest" oils around. ...

I am using 5w-40 Delvac 1, filter is also genuine VW but they are the paper element type that goes in a filter housing so no anti drain back valve in the filter itself.
