Engine Oil and Transmission Issues in 2010 Corolla: Solutions?

I recently purchased a used 2010 Corolla GLI that was in excellent condition. However, Im not sure which engine oil the previous owner was using, so I started using Kixx Pao 5W40. I havent experienced any issues so far, but I was wondering if it would be okay to switch to Kixx 5W30.

Im also having an issue with transmission noise that can be heard in all gears. Its a whining noise that sounds like oooonnn, and its more noticeable when the car decelerates. I changed the gear oil according to the companys specifications, but the noise persists. Is there anything I can do to make the noise go away?

I would really appreciate any advice o r insights from experienced drivers o r mechanics. My car has been driven for almost 130,000 kilometers, so I want to make sure that everything is in good condition and functioning properly. Thank you in advance for your help!
