Changed the oil at my shop today and as soon as the filter housing was primed the other tech's I work with just starred at me. They heard me drive in but couldn't hear me leaving. The noise had dropped at least 60% cold but is still there when hot, but totally doable compared to where it was before.
On a side note, I had gotten it down {whine} when I switched to a stainless oil filter but then used different brand oils for my 1/2 mile events so noise was back again. But now.....big difference and we do not know why. We have some very smart tech's at my shop and we pulled apart new E55 oil pump to see what could be going on .....had lots of theory but nothing concrete.
So it looks like this Bizol oil is a keeper for now and it is the correct spec so that's great. I did cost me $90.00 and my old Mobil 1 was only 200 miles old!! Bought my oil at Eeuroparts

I used the 0-40 all around and still happy with noise reduction.I do not know what the hell is going on in that pump but I will live with a little noise. I have seen more you tube video's with the same crazy sound as well in many E55's.

don't know what your climate is but you should have tried the 0-40 but who knows. Mine still is a big improvement
