Xorti7, I am not surprised. All else being equal, a thicker oil will be quieter in an engine than a thin one.

When you see (hear) a difference between two brands of oils, however, it's usually due to the additive packages.

Oh, and be aware that after 1,500-2,000 miles, most 10W-40s shear down to a 10W-30 ... but they won't go any lower than that under normal circumstances.

Actually, it's a pretty decent oil weight for use in high-performance engines ... especially the better brands (Pennzoil, Chevron & Havoline) as well as the "High-Mileage" oils.
