My 850 has about 120k miles on it and the engine started to become noisy even after driving a few miles. My mechanic said the noise is from the lifter and recommended changing the oil with a heavier weight oil 15W40. The noise is gone now.

My question is how does the heavier weight help this problem and am I just masking an underlying problem?
