This is interesting. Although the engine oil light isn't on this is a quick check I can perform when I get to my car.

 

Confirmed. I needed to add a quart of engine oil. Everything is back to normal. No noise whatsoever! I've been running about 8000 KM since my last oil change. I didn't have this problem with amsoil but last time I used Mobil 1 so go figure....

Don't get lazy ppl! Check your dip stick time to time...

 

good to hear man, this will help me out if i deal with this kind of issue down the road.
