It'* not the blend (fossil vs. synthetic) it'* the weight. If the owners manual says 5w-30 then yes, but if you put in a 10w-30 it won't hurt it.

i bet the rattling is the lifters and its due to the thin oil... not even z06 corvettes use that thin of oil they REQUIRE Mobil1 Syn 5w-30, the Chrysler Crossfire is one of FEW cars that uses 0w-40 and thats like tan water lol, I use 10w-30 at 160,000 miles with no rattles
up the weight NOW and i will bet the rattle will be gone... the thin oil prolly isnt building enough pressure and coating/lubing the lifters enough to keep them from making noise that thats what your hearing, but delaying will prolly cause problems
IF after the change, nothing changes let us know but i bet if you drop some Mobil1 10w-30 or even Mobil1 10w-40 *slightly thicker, for high mileage motors* it will quieten it up
