I put Shell Rotella T6 in (opinions not necessary  I did my research). I did have some quiet ticking on cold start that I could also hear when warm and close to a building.
Nice and quiet, now. Seems more smooth overall, too.
Happy for now...we will see.

Rotella T6 has been my go-to oil for a last decade on my turbo Saabs and no issues with my Boxster for 2+ years of my entire ownership. I trust that my IMS bearing is thanking for splash of oil with higher zinc content when I keep the rev above 3,000 rpm for most driving once warmed up.
