2013 BMW x1 2.8Xdrive

My car I believe has the N20 4 cyl. engine. On start up it sounds like a diesel engine and get a little quieter as it warms up but still has a diesel like sound at idle. I use Castrol synthetic oil, if I use say Mobil 1 will it be less noisy? What are the causes of the timing chain issue with this engine can it be prevented?

Thanks,
