Message	Not sure how quickly the oil warms up, but my point was if the 15w50 quiets things, it's because it's a 50 weight. It's not like 0w was too thin and 15w quieted things down--15w is never better because even 0w is way too thick. Really the only oils should be 0w20, 0w30, 0w40, 0w50, etc, it's just that it's difficult to make an oil with such a wide spread of viscosities.
