yeah, i stopped reading after "with 0W-30 synthetic and drove it" and didn't see the whole 1k-2k then switch back. so i withdraw my comment.

i don't know how an oil change could produce the noise, but who knows. if it's gone then "something" fixed it.

as an aside, i had a noise that i could not figure out for a while, thought it was a heat shield but turned out to be a loose alternator. the shop i use (which i consider reputable) was all ready to cut off the heat shields. i found out it was the alternator on my own...
