Redline
I kept on getting the valve ticking/knocking noise. I saw someone's post here that Redline got rid of the noise. So I thought next oil change I'll test it.
I got the some Redline 5w-30 oil yesterday and that valve ticking noise is gone!
So far I have tried,
Dino oil (I think GTX)
Nissan ester oil - this one worked as well but this oil sheers and is more expensive than redline
Motul X-Max 8100 - I thought this would fix the problem since this is a ester based oil, but the knocking was clearly there
Penzoil Platinum x2 - again the knocking was there
I was also getting this rattling sound between 3k to 4k rpm under hard acceleration. I have tried several times now I can't hear it.
I'll update after putting more miles.

That said, a $65 (+ filter cost) oil change for full synthetic still isn't a bad deal, really.
So far I've used Royal Purple and Mobil 1. No ticking with either of them. Since I don't track my car, I'll stick with the Mobil 1 for $25 every 5k miles.

Question: can we use different grade of oil for different weather scenarios?
in summer time, here in Vegas, it gets around 110 degrees or more so a 10w-40 be appropriate or still use 5w-30 vice-versa in the winter.
