I tried Mobil 1 15-50 simply b/c it was free, I normally use 5-30, and I've noticed that my car seems more noisey when cold. is it possible that the hydraulic lash adjusters arent getting along w/ the thick oil?, or am I an idiot?:confused:

have a anwser to your question but I too started using 15-50 and with my car Valve cover noises have pretty much dissapeared. Noticed that my Oil Pressure is a lot higher when idling...:D

What's your oil pressure at idle?

My needle sits pretty much in between 15 and 25. With regular 10-30 my needle used to sit right above 0...but that was with a shietty sender. So who knows what it actually was reading before.

The noise is from the oil being thicker when its cold... I'd use whatever oil is recommended for an SR20DET, since you have turbo right?
