Although this isn't scientific by any means, myself and other forum members have experienced that engine noise is reduced significantly with Mobil 1 0w20.


You sure about that ? :-D

If it is finally determined that fuel dilution is the problem, then you can always try Valvoline or NAPA if you catch a sale.


Ashland products seem to be more resilient to fuel dilution.

Well whatever oil is in it now, is quieter at idle than the Eneos was. I really don't know, the receipt says w/moly, it was put in from a metal can, so I guess it would be Castrol after all.

So compared to the equinox DI V6 I just posted, this looks great. xD

Sheared to a 0w10 but the engine didn't really seem to mind. Good wear numbers for 2nd OCI from factory. I'd run factory OCI and retest.
