Amsoil sooper dooper or Mobil 1, doesn't matter. I can't seem to get more than 4500 miles out of a change before I get really uncomfortable with the sound.
Mind you, I might be stretching the comparison but I hear what I hear.

Oil is just slightly below the max dot on the dip stick. Check my oil every 2 weeks or so, has never dropped near the low dot.
Just changed the oil and filter 2000 km ago (Used Toyota OEM filter and Toyota 0W20). I heard the noise even before the oil change. Nothing out of the ordinary with doing the oil change, drained out 5.2L or so and poured in 5.4L as per manual specs, the 5.4L brought it to exactly halfway between the MAX and MIN dot. I poured in an extra 300ml or so to bring it just below the MAX dot.
Car has been serviced at Toyota it's whole life, the KM were higher than what I wanted but it was a good deal and had all service paperwork with it, oil was changed every 5-8k km.
Thanks everyone for the input. I'm just gonna drive the car, if it's normal then it's normal, if something breaks then I will know then. No point having anxiety over it, it's just a car.
Cheers all
