It's possible you have a spun bearing.

Very unlikely (doesn't show any signs of it) but i'm clueless. I think I just have a loud engine.

Re: What weight oil do you use?

Has anyone used Valvoline VR1 20W50 and how do you like it? I'm thinking of running that for the summer then regular conventional in the winter.


Synthetic oil is just too expensive for me right now and is un-needed.
