    At times, i also hear some chain noise from inside the engine.
    If i drive in 50-60 range, even after one hour drive this chain sound doesn't come. But if the running speed is increased, the noise can be heard while running and idling... But timing chain sound shouldn't come. Am i right ?

I am not sure whether it's the issue with the chain or sprocket.. and the next one screeching of rear brakes.. other than that I have issues with timing chain sound while driving.. but it seems to be okay in idle.. and my engine gets hotter too quick.. I can feel the heat in my legs .. is this because of their cheap grade engine oil I m not sure.. [emoji26][emoji26]

    S..... Semi synthetic works fine. You too can try lean setting (for increased throttle response & mileage) if you are running a semi / synthetic oil. Lean AFR makes engine running more hotter than normal in high speeds. You need a synthetic oil to balance it.....

    While you're at it do go through the following article;

    4/STROKE OIL

    Maybe.... Because opinions & experiences differ [emoji56]
