Have you ever used anything thinker then 5w30?
I've tried Mobil 1 10w-30, 10w-40, and 0w-40, nothing worked, I even had new ant-drainback valves installed when I had the timing chain guides replaced, nothing worked. Your only option is to rebuild/replace the VANOS units, and they're not cheap. The rattle open happens at startup, so to be honest it doesn't bother me.
