My wife's quiet FWIW, but we are running markedly different oils if your sig is current.
Not using the OEM filter. I'm thinking replacing the oil filter is the next best step.
So I am to assume a Honeywell Defence oil filter (based on your sig) then?
Also, curious about the 5w-30, particularly for a Canadian winter..... I run 0w-20 in ours year-round, since it calls for a 5w-20
20 weight is too thin for the towing we do through the summer. I looked at the spec sheets between PP 0w20, 5w20 and 5w30 and there wasn't much gained in cold flow properties.
PP 5w30 cold weather numbers are significantly better than the recommended conventional 5w20 so I figured I would stick with one oil year round.
Here's some reading on water temps I got in the van this summer towing through Cape Breton, Nova Scotia:
