CRV VTC actuator issue

[Spring Break '92]

2012 CRV with the Never ending VCT actuator issue. I have read that if I thickened the oil from the 0w-20 it might stick to the actuator and not have that nasty grinding noise on a cold start. I saw a suggestion for the liqui Molly 22606... Any thoughts on dumping a bottle of that in there and seeing what happens. I've already changed that **** VCT actuator three times it isn't cheap. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

No oil thicker or thinner will help
Id stick with 5w-20

I have always run 30 weight in my honda's even though they started calling for 20 weight. I am assuming you are using full synthetic?

I'm a big fan of the Exxon Mobil 0w30 as well as the red line 030 in my Hondas. during summer it's usually a 5W30 in those brands
