Loud engine...

Since its started to get cold Ive started noticing my engine runs noticeably louder. I checked my oil today when I got to work and found that i had a little too much oil (I added an extra quart over the weekend because it appeared to need it). I will drain off some of the oil, but could the extra oil or perhaps the 10w-30 viscosity be making run a little louder in this cold?

Now that you mention it..

The engine noise on my '84 300d is louder on cold mornings. Last time I ended up getting the charger out to get it going. When I unplugged the charger I really noticed the noise, sounded like it was louder than usual combustion, this might also be called injector "nailing".(?) Hopefully it will do better with a valve adj., in the cold (20f) with no block heater it takes a minute of engine shaking and smoking along with a louder engine before it smooths&quiets out.
