I cant really tell anything from the vid. Normal - sort of - more normal for an old EJ? Doesn't really sounds like a stock 2020 w 15K on it . . .

So, what oil was in it? (who knows), What did you put in it?

Regardless and off topic - if you drive it at all hard, check the oil frequently

My personal opinion is any full synthetic oil that meets the api specs is good when your changing oil every 3-4k miles on street car. Doubt any full synthetic has actually broken down by then. I ran Motul in my GTI for a few changes.
