Did your sewing machine get any louder?

Yes, compared to 10-30 Castrol I noticed more noise, however I noticed LESS noise than when I used 10-40 Castrol. I am going to be putting in 10-30 Pennzoil Platinum per Patman's recommendation next oil change.

No difference here, but my oil analysis did improve (less wear metals).

Sewing machine usually gets quieter, however pistons slap and cold startup noise gets louder. I had luck quieting it down with amsoil 5w40, but eventually went back to GC since its so easily available around here. Ill just deal with the noise.
