I've been having a butchers at this thread .Someone needs a good smack in the chops for all this mincing about
I quite often get noisy lifters if I haven't used the bus for a while. To be honest, it's gotten worse on 10w40 oil. Does it after 2 days rest. Will probably go back to 15w40. Had to leave it a week or two before noisy lifters. Although to be fair, I should probably sort the issue (somehow).
Yeah my lifters are noisy if I haven't used the bus for a while. I use eurocarparts minetal 15/40, tried 20/50 halfords classic but it was worse I think.
Yeh, 15w40 definitely seems to be the best then. Not sure how good it is for the engine over the winter, but it's ok for now I guess.
I know that, but is 15 still too high for a cold, UK winter? Mind you, that chart appears to suggest it goes to a lower temp than I thought it would!
That reminds me, I came home and disturbed a burglar the other day. I told him there probably wasn't a God. Sorry @pkrboo, I came to this thread late, it's the best I can do
