I know what you mean.
Some people say that some oils make more noise or just the oppisite.
I cant tell any difference.

I'm considering changing the oil weight like you do.
Starting to get warm here,80's plus.

Regular motor oil may be fine in most instances but it only takes once in hot weather to cook the oil, on a trip bike loaded, wife on back, 95+, ( not wifes weight ) and a grade will do it, and you wont even know it untill it is to late. I like the piece of mind also but my mind had a problem with the 14.00 a quart piece part .
