Thanks for confirming, as I was extremely skeptical to jumping straight to an oil that thick (currently using M1 5w30). After doing some research, I decided to give M1 10w30 a try (since it rarely gets below 0*F around here). It did seem to quiet the car somewhat at hot idle (too early to tell). But I was also wondering about other oils in these viscosities (i.e. Penzoil Platinum, German Castrol, etc)...
EDIT - The car has never consumed oil between oil changes (dipstick reading is always the same as the day I put the oil in)
