Default Has anyone switched oils and noticed less piston slap....

Hey guys, my piston slap seems to be worse this winter as compared to last. I switched from Mobil One 5W-30 to Penzoil Platnium 5W-30 and I swear it seems louder, although it could be my imagination. I know theres nothing we can do about it but its very annoying. Just wondering if anyone has switched brands or weights of oil and noticed a difference for the good "quieter".

Thanks
pat
