Before you go tearing the engine apart what oil are you using?
Anything w-30 is to thin for these engines.
Not knowing where you live makes it harder to recommend a oil for you.
I live in MI, it gets cold here in the winter, I use Shell Rotella 5w-40 in the winter and 15w-40 in the summer.
To thin of a oil can cause engine noises.

10W40 good down to 14F see attached, an example of what is available when you download the whole RAVE. The plus is you don't have to wait for basic info, and you can search it by word, phrase, or trouble code number. More info than a mere mortal can recall.
Using a standard dino oil it must be changed every 3,000 miles.
Using a heavy duty motor oil, like diesel oil it can go 5,000 miles.
Full synthetic motor oil can also go 5,000 miles.

Really? You're going to use that crap parafin (wax) based motor oil?
