Zombie thread alert.My opinion is switch to a full synthetic oil, like Triax UTTO Supreme. This will probably eliminate any viscosity problems in cold weather and resist aeration of the fluid. I am also a fan of putting bigger filters on with similar or better specs if you can find one.
HOWEVER, if ChuluTrac hadn't posted, I wouldn't have ever read this thread and learned that (at last sometimes) hyd filters can cause a whining noise. Another TBN factoid gem.
