Indeed! Those openings are a rare-rare bird!
Engine sounds more noisy? When?.... cold starts?
Could be a combo of that filter and the thinner viscosity VRP contains, versus-that of the Pennzoil High Mileage oil.
The last M-I that I used was noisy at cold startup. Then it quieted down afterwards on warm startups.
Plus, in regards to anytime engine noise increases, High Mileage Oils are generally always a thicker viscosity than their same, normal, oil brand sibling. Your engine could be sensitive to that thinner change to VRP.
Our Kia 2.0MPI sure brings out what oils are more noisier than others.
I was shocked to find out some expensive Grp4/5 oils seem noisier than some Group 3s. I haven't used the Group 2 conventional oils in almost 30 years. So I cannot do a engine noise comparison on them.
