hey guys, i've noticed this a while ago but when i start my car i hear a ticking noise from the engine. As i accelerate the ticking noise gets louder.
The car i drive is a is300. now im not too sure but as far as i know i think its the lifters causing this. I think its because i gave my car into the local mechanic to get it serviced and they used cheap oil. So my main question is how do i get rid of this. mind you the car is up for service again. I was thinking of buying the oil and giving it to the mechanic. what sort of oil should i be using on this car? ive been hearing that Nulon fully synthetic oil is the way to go but wanted your opinions first. Input would be great guys. thanks Vimo |

Spend some time reading bobistheoilguy
Probably the viscosity has a bigger effect than the oil type and certainly more than the brand name. I use any 10W-40 synthetic. -------------------- The Girl's KE70-

You still use 10w-40 after reading BITOG
 At least you run synthetic & not semi full of VI additives/sludge. I've been converted to 0w-30 not quiet brave enough to try 0w-20 like they all run in the states. I even put 0w-30 in the Mrs black top 20v Carib. Runs much better than it ever did with 10w-40 magnarubbishvimo what grade of oil are you currently running? I'd give Moibil1 5w-30 a try as it'll probably be the easiest to get hold of. -------------------- アルテッツァ RS200-Z 6MT
