Whining after oil change, fix? and oil level not reading right
So today i did an oil change on my 04 55, used mobil 1 0 40 oil and a stp filter.
right after the oil change, it started to whine, dosent go away when warm up, so it s different from the start up whine.
i searched a lot on the forum, seems like people are having this issue, some say its the oil, some say its the filter not being oem.
but i have not yet find a solution to this, any input?
also, i put 9 quats of oil in it but the computer only shows (three clicks on reset buttom) 7.4 quats. i drained the oil out from both the front and the rear sump.
is that normal? does the computer has to be reset?
thank you

It should go away after a few minutes when it warms.

Yep this is how it starts and may stay like this forever. I have been down this road and have tried MANY types of oils and filters but the whine is always there and very noticeable when cold. Although better these days but still there !!

i mean... it gotta be something bc it wasn't there before the oil change..

If that oil in the above link has made this noise go away on multiple motors (55k's) then that stuff is the oil to buy and exactly what I'm using next.

I even have a new pump with a new chain and tensioner to throw in this winter but have been told it will not make a difference.

Well isn't this a kick in the *** after 3 1/2 years of driving! 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

thank you for this man, it really helps some of us I think.
I am ordering it tmr. I have put roughly 500 miles on my mobil 1 without any noticeable change in noise. some mechanic suggested that it may go away after the oil wears out a lil but it has been 500 miles so I guess that is not the case.
and where did you get the stainless filter at?
