Increase valve train noise

up its good oil, one of the better ones on the market and affordable.
Purchased 2 5 quart jugs . 1 was 0w-20 and 5w-20 with the $20 rebate ( 2 5 qt. jugs or 10 qts. ) that just ended . Also had $10 from A.A.P. with 2 5 quart jugs of the ULTRA with 2 CARQUEST Premium oil filters . Think it was under $5 a quart with the rebate and the low price on the oil and filter special . Can't beat that .
 
I prefer Valvoline Maxlife High Mileage (HM) 5w30 over Pennzoil HM 5w30 or Mobil One HM 5w30 because Valvoline is thicker at full op temp.

I compared the viscosity specs.

Valve noise in a Jeep 4L with Mobil One motivated me to compare specs. My Buick Park Ave 3800 is too quiet for me to hear any differences between oils, but my Buick has a slight oil leak. So I prefer a slightly thicker HM oil for my Buick too. My theory is that thicker oil will leak less.

Lots of people think a heavier weight oil will quiet valve train noise. So will a heavy blanket over your engine.

You may be right. My wife frequently assures me that I don't know everything. :)
