Checked the oil in my new B2 and noticed that it was super thin. Changed the oil and now it has a slight Knock at around 2000 RPM and above. Sounds like a bad bearing somewhere in the block. Any ideas?
This video is from before the oil change

I don't remember. It was super cheap. I didn't want to spend much on it because this engine has absolutely no power and sounds like crap

Your filter choice can effect oil pressure.

So it started doing this before the oil change? It definitely sounds like a knock to me :(

You didn't say at first that the knock was there before the oil change. Accurate info is always needed.
