Engine oil Brand
Whoisthis, that doesn't sound great. You're using 0W/30, it's possible that's too thin. Next oil change switch to 5W/30 and see if that noise persists. I've been using 10W/30 AMSOIL with K&N filters, you can't tell when my engine is running. I often have to look at my tach to tell if it's running....

How much did you pay for amosil oil?
AMSOIL is the only oil i trust in my car...lots of studies done to back up their oil also.

Just because the oil did better in there tests does not mean it will be better in.your engine.

Nothing here screems at amsoil being king, I do not think its worth the cost > Castrol Syntec

^ True oils perform differently in different engines, but those are very old comparisons and very out-dated for the VQ. Resolute has yet to update with current UOA compiled results. He took those old averaging comparisons off his thread a long time ago for that reason and also for another... Proprietary oil formulations change all the time.
That's mostly a Group IV (PAO) base with Group II+ or III to hold the add pack in solvency. One of their better formulations if you're a loyal M1 user imo.
Your vids:
IMO, it's not the oil (unless you're low on oil) but rather an internal metallurgy condition.

Hey, will i be ok if i add some Mobile 1 5w30 or 10w30 in to my engine because the dipstick reads little less than high Point.

Is there a result out there for 5w40 PP?
i never knew Shell makes good oil for our engine
Hate on. They are pointless if you dont understand them. Im not a fluid engineer, nor do i do the studies and testing. That is their job. Not mine. Im going off of experience from several good friends that track their built cars at virginia intl raceway. Usually they have to rebuild their engines every 3 good full running days from being at the track and they are averaging 10-11 runs now since they have switched to amsoil. If never heard of anything bad from amsoil. Its all been good reviews from what Ive read and word of mouth. Its personal preference.
