Engine was well run in by the first 7500 though (no miss daisy here).

Was previously using Castrol Edge 0W-40, but wont be going back. Nulon is Aussie, the full synth delivers less friction than even Castrol Edge for example, and costs less. Run the same oil, but the only people who stock it in darwin have run out, seems Nulon cant make enough to keep the shelves stocked.Almost oil change time if they dont get some more soon looks like its castrol edge instead.

The engine certainly runs smoother, but a nasty 'tappet' sound has developed when I start it cold every morning that drives me crazy.When it goes in for service soon I'll see if their standard sh*t oil they put in removes it. If it doesn't it's staying there.Your gunna put mineral based stuff in an engine that has synthetic in it?
Terebro Member 170 Member For: 21y 5m 21d Posted 23/04/07 01:40 PM Posted 23/04/07 01:40 PM I am going to see if the mineral sh*t they put in will reproduce the tappet sound. If it does then I will speak to the service dept in more detail. If the sound is gone then I think the Penrite might me too thin, (5W/60) so I'll put in 10Wv40 in it.
