My college car was a Ford Tempo and it seemed louder than usual with Super-Tech. My MB and GM Diesel are already a good bit louder than the gasser I once owned but I don't hear any extra noise in either of those.

In the oil debates that happen here all the time (kind of funny on some of them-especially when we had good ole 240Joe's no oil change garbage)... but someone said if it's slippery and clean, it'll work. I kind of wonder myself. That said, you do get what you pay for. Be nice to do a test comparing things like compression and metal in oil after say 100k in two identical new engines comparing cheap oils vs. Mobil 1 Synthetic changed every 3000 miles (or equivalent in hours).
