I switched from Cstrol GTX dino oil in my 2004 Hunday Santa Fe 2.4L manual transmission morotr at 205,000, to Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W30.
Since then I've noticed a BIG increase in engine noise. I've read several posts about synthetic oil causing more engine noise, but I'm wondering of any other Hyunday Santa Fe owners out there have experienced the same thing and if there is a "quieter" full synthetic oil that will make our motors purr like a kitten as opposed to being quite noisey. I don't want to change back to dino oil, but the noise is bothering me a lot!
