Same issue until on my 900S 2.3 ...

I changed the oil and put in the BG MOA additive. "Mechanic in a jug"!
The whine was like yours - when it was cold it occurred - and it kept getting worse (louder) as the days went on yet remaining cold engine dependent.
I did the oil change and voila! silent engine. But now after 2,450 miles, the whine is back, though quiet like when it started before. I am going to change the oil this weekend again, so I will update!!!
Right now I'm assuming its an oil circulation problem. In the last year I took care of the idler pulleys and belt, so I kinda eliminated them, but who knows?
If it is 'clean oil'-dependent, I am going to keep w/ changes every 2k with BG MOA additive. Then later I may switch to Mobil 1.
