33,000-ish miles, car is a 2012. It is subjected to lots of cold starts and short-trip driving (always taken easy until engine warms up); taken out on the highway a few times a month for longer trips.
I'm running 10W-30 Pennzoil UP, which I thought would be fine above 0F. Should I be using a thinner oil in these temps, or is this slapping noise just typical hypereutetic piston noise like in the GM 5.3/6.0?
Thanks for any insight!
We have a Highlander (2GR-FE) that is known for piston slapping noise, no matter what oil you use in it - but it seems to me a bit early for the Cruze.
