Geez, I can’t find a straight answer. All I find is that crush washers should go flat side to the bolt, round or bevelled side to pan. This crush washer for 2013 GLI seems round on both sides. Only difference I can tell is that one side seems slotted (like in photo). If I had to choose which side is “flatter”, then I guess this slotted side might be it but seems round to me.
TL;DR: If Rising was working for me (I know it's hit or miss for many), should I continue with that or is trying Accord, Epic, or one of the more reputable ones, worth it?
For context, Rising worked well overall but once it leveled out, I felt like I needed a little more. I was maxed out at 450. Been on BUP for 15 months now and glad I’m on it.
My pharmacy made the switch to Granules recently. Started with the 150mg, then fully on my next 300 refill (I take 450 XL). About a week into the mixed 300 Rising and 150 Granules, I felt more fatigued but didn’t think much of it. Now 2 weeks into all Granules and I just don't think this is working like before. I am definitely stopping Granules asap.
I'm looking into other pharmacies, searching for Accord, Epic, etc. I know Amazon lets you choose so I may go with them. I already called around locally, got a lot of scigen and lupin.

EDIT: I am NOT staying on granules. I moved the real question to the top now that I see it’s a long post.
2013 GLI. Been noticing a howling sound that starts around 2k rpm and gets louder as it gets to 3k. If I go beyond that, the normal engine sound starts to take over so I can't tell if it's still doing it.
I thought it was an aspiration problem but this week I noticed it stops if I turn AC off. Fan only, no noise, just AC. No dash lights or warnings. It's also felt sluggish but that may just be in my head since I'm avoiding higher rpms.
Only other thing is a rough idle, sometimes. I think the howling started around that same time. Rough idle hasn't happened at all this week though so it's kinda random. Any ideas? Anything specific I should check?
I mean… golden opportunity… am I right?
