If you have access to high octane gas it wouldn't hurt to try that. If it knocks on 100+ octane you can be pretty sure it's not real knock.

The weather and oil may be making your valve lash adjusters tick. They may do it even with different oil and warmer weather. If you end up needing to replace the VLA's I would search ebay for 3G lifters. Last I saw full sets were going for $100 which is the best price I've seen.

Have you done a boost leak test recently? Not sure about knock, but that can cause timing issues and I had similar problems when I was leaking boost.
