Hmm, maybe I'll give 5W-30 a try. I do notice the same sound as you do.

However, I thought the 5W is the weight of the oil cold, and when it warms up, it becomes 20W? So in that sense, changing the second set of numbers shouldn't affect the start up sounds, since they're both 5W. Or, do I have it backwards?
