The 57356 or equivalent (which now comes up as the recommended filter) is noticeably rougher at startup and that's what you are experiencing now. Also, if you live in a really cold region, I would stick with 0W-20 or even 0W-16 oil.
I think maybe you've got some of this mixed up. You or me do, because that sounds backward. I bought 2 oil filters at a time. I bought 2 Wix 51356. I've had the same rattle at start up from the beginning. These filters did not change the rattle.
What I heard was that the 57356 is noticeably less rough / rattly at start up. I don't know this as a fact. But will find out at my next oil change. Which is not too long from now. The rattle bothers me very little in any event.
