When Mobil 1 was brand new in the US, I put it in my 1974 99 (circa 1976/77). I heard too much chain noise, so changed back right away to Castrol 30 weight. There was only one grade of Mobil 1 at the time. I use Mobile 1 15W-50 in my 9-5 and have done so since moving to Florida in 1999 with 30,000 miles on the car at the time. Before that, used Mobil 1 10W-30. Perhaps a heavier weight would eliminate the noises you are hearing. Mobil 1 15W-50 is recommended by Mobil for turbo engines where the temperatures are above 60F.
