Use 10W30 for the oil.

I'm not really sure what you mean by the making the engine quiet. What kind of noise is it making?

Personally I run an AEM dryflow air filter, no need to oil and filters out more fine particle than K&N. I also run Q 5-30 full synthetic oil. Depends on the noise. If it's exhaust noise, since it's a 96 with new engine, check for exhaust leaks. New muffler? If it's vibration noise, look into new motor mounts. You could also eliminate a lot of in cabin noise by dynamatting the inside of the firewall, floors and doors. It's kinda spendy for the dynamat and time consuming but when finished it's like riding in a new benz or beamer. Just a few ideas, but get back to us and be more descriptive of the noise.
