Will run quieter with new oil versus old oil about every time.

Kind of like how new tires feel so much better than the old ones just removed.

I've been mildly looking into switching to Swepco oils. After one of the local Dealers approached me as I was referred to him by other Porsche locals. I've never hear of the oils but I'm reading some good stuff. And currently cheaper than Mobile 1. I recently changed to high mileage 15/40 mobile 1, I have horrible oil pressure I'm assuming due to very noisy lifters. It's embarrassing. And some baseball card/wheel spoke sound if I coast in gear. Would never have thought soo many engine noise would come from a Porsche. Never heard soo many noises from my high hp highly beat on Evo, but a daily driven Porsche. :ah:
