I did notice a diffrence with the overall sound of it while running. i feel a diffrence in really
hot temps. i don't know if all weights are the same.

Straight 30 is not any better than 20w-50. Modern multi-weight oils
actually work these days. The 20w-50 will have the same viscosity at
100C as a straight 50.

A few days ago I emailed about the oil buzzer.
I put 20W50 in as recommended and it ain't buzzing now!
Thanks.
