I'm using Quaker State 5w30...I went a little too long without an oil change...I recently changed the oil. Thinking that there might be a build-up of varnish etc...on the weekend I dropped in some CD2 Detergent designed for valvetrains. I'm putting some miles on the car to get this worked thru. It seems to be helping... the noise disappears quicker....
