No need or even a reason to go to water viscosities. The cold start Myth has has sold a lot of oil :) The sound you are hearing is a lack of oil in your galleries/bearings.. Thin oils run out of the those places much easier, especially so in a 15 year old engine. Low viscosity on startup is only genuinely significant if the oil is so thick/congealed that the starter has problems.
