Default Engine Noise

My S2K has been making a engine knocking/pinging noise under relatively hard acceleration to about 5,000+ rpm. It only occurs after it is just warmed up (after 3 bars on temp gage). It does not happen after it is fully warmed up, say 5 to 10 mins. It runs great otherwise, has full power, I use only 94 premium fuel and I change oil every 2k.

HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS?

Are they consistently using the same type of Oil (i.e. Mobil One, Havoline, etc..) during the oil changes. And are they using the same type of oil during changes (i.e. 10w-30, 10w-40, 20w-50) Sometimes cars like a certain type of oil, and these cars like to continue to re-fill with it.
I believe cars are like people, sometimes we just don't like change

Just a thought.

Knocking and pinging is not good. Have your dealer check it out.
