Default 103 a tad noisy

The top end is a tad ticky. Have any of you had luck quieting this down with a certain oil? I have it looked at a few times and is in normal working order (multiple mechanics). Not trying to start a "Best" oil thread, that's played out...Any help or experience is appreciated. Peace!!

When my '13 was new I noticed it had top noise; I experimented with different oils and found synthetics increased the top end noise so I've always stuck with my tried and true VR1 SAE 50, that kept the noise to a minimum.

When the Rockout inserts became available I installed them and the top end noise is now zero; they're a simple solution that works, $15 well spent
