Is it just me or does it seem like the diesel is getting louder? I have 1300 km and already it’s quite a bit louder than I’d have expected. I’d assume it would start to get louder as it fully breaks in but kind of surprised at how much. I like it!

I don't know how it would affect these newer engines, but I used Outboard Oil in my Duramax Diesel to keep it quiet and smooth running. I mixed a half ounce of oil (2-cycle TCW3) for each gallon of diesel, just poured it in the tank and then filled it up. It was a substitute lubricant for the sulfur they removed from the diesel to reduce emissions.
