In the long run, 10w30 would be quieter because it wouldn't shear as much.

Merkava: you just got SMACKED/BUSTED! Good for u!
This place amazes me somedays. I'll stick with PYB/QS/Conoco Phillips stuff. Least I know that stuff does NOT act like what I just ran two times!
Garak is my counterbalance. He keeps me in check; otherwise I'd be running amuck on this board.
LOL! True

Pennzoil Conventional 10w30 gets even quieter than that....

Cold tick?

My general consensus is thicker oil for louder engines and thinner oil for cold tick.

Yep most Ford Focus take 5w30 in Australia, but they should have a picture of a oil can on the fill cap. No numbers.
We prefer the "don't ask, don't tell" rule when it comes to oil. That way we can run GTX 15w40 in everything, or semi-synthetic 10W-40 if we feel our car is special.
No noise or consumption problems when you run a 40 weight.
Merk, give up them light weight ILSAC 10w30 oils and run something with a bit of body behind it.

Right.
Gotta compare new oil vs new oil. Old oil vs old oil.
But, yea, new oil always feels good. Just like coming out of a shower and the
towel is nice & warm. Versus a cold towel.

My Hyundai has 5w-20 on the fill cap and Hyundai recommends Quaker State oil (in the book).
So I been running Pennzoil Conventional 5w30. 97k+ on the clock and still on original engine.

Pennzoil Conventional is the quietest oil I've tried in the Jeep 4.0s that I service, and I've tried a lot of different oils.
Umm......
Mods: please delete this thread as people take this the wrong way
I am just amazed that people don't realize that with a "good synthetic" in 5,000 highway miles with abode freezing temps j have had a lot of valve train noise with this "oil". Quaker State Conventional, and MC 5w30 never, ever did this either. Let's get real folks
Mine was pretty noisy with 10w30 conventional. Pennzoil Pure Plus GTL 0w-20 is pretty quiet in it, as is most other 5 and 0w20 oils I have.
But I just bought a bunch of 5w30 Pennzoil Platinum so guess that is what I will be using next!
