When you're been here a while, and something just makes you wonder.....
I've got a rude, crude, but low mileage 2.2 Ecotec in my 15 year old Cavalier. These engines were never known for being quiet, but this Cavalier happens to have the loudest engine of the 3 Ecotec engines that we own......
The car has run a good part of it's life on either Napa or some sort of SOPUS oil ( QSUD, PP)
I've been considering going the "thicker" branded oil ( Like Castrol), doing a blend oil, or maybe even a Dino oil to quiet this engine a bit. The engine is healthy and runs well, but it is annoying loud....
Thoughts? Maybe a good set of earplugs?
