Re: Timing chain noise on warm start up.
If you look at the SAE temp rating for W30 oils you will see the max temp is actually too low for our summer ambient conditions and thins out too much not allowing pressure in the tensioner to build up sufficiently.
I use 10W40 since the engine reached 120k and started to use a little oil on 5W30 which stopped soon after changing.
