could it be described as a hissing noise? (like a air pressure leak?) thats typical of the kwik filter, because i have heard it when under heavy acceleration. also you should hear a noise similar to a blow-off valve on a rice burner changing gears-when you let off the throttle or change gears with an automatic tranny. i notice the most hissing shifting from 3 to OD with a constant pedal. ive drug the hissing sound out for 7 seconds once before

May have an intercooler boot leaking or something similar to that. They can make some really odd noises.

No matter who does the oil changes YOU need to make sure it's CI-4 Rated. It sounds like the same problem I was having. Change the Oil and Make sure it's CI-4 rated.
