How many miles is on the engine. Too many miles may indicate a loose engine and I would recommend a synthetic blend instead. First, if using 5w30 switch to 10w30 might help. Before switching and changing the oil filter, suggest adding a quart of Rislone for a couple of hundred miles to clean up lifters if it is lifter chatter you are hearing. Also, do not know if you have adjustable valve lash which could cause the "chitter" you hear.
Answer 2:
There should be no benefit to switching to 10w30 from 5w30. They are both the same viscosity when at operating temperature. If anything the 5w30 would be better because it has better cold flow ability compared to the 10w30.

What kind of oil does a 2002 grand am GT use?
5W-30 try a synthetic blend since your car is newer ***Synthetic blend is not necessary in this engine, and the only benefit that you will see from the use of synthetic fluid is the ability to go longer in between oil changes. Due to the cost of synthetic oil, the existence of little or any benefit is arguable. Use, at the most, a synthetic-blended 5W-30 engine oil.

What type of oil does a 2006 Scion Tc take?
depending on the mileage, a full synthetic or a synthetic blend is my recomendation. A conventional oil (standard) is good for 3000 miles. synthetic blend oil is good for about 4000 miles and a full synthetic is good for 5000 miles. If your tc is over 75000 miles then either a full sythetic or a high mileage oil is recomended. I bought my tc at 72000 miles and right away i ran an engine flush, tanny flush, coolant flush, fuel system cleaner and had a full synthetic oil change and the car runs brand new. Jiffy Lube Tech-
