Just goggled noisy lifters and Penrite comes up everywhere :( Oh well, see how the 10w50 goes in the morning. Ive been using the Penrite racing 15w50 every oil change in my FG F6 since the 7500km service (car now has 63000kms on it) and its still nice and quiet on cold start ups 3

It was quieter in the valve train at start up but the big test will be tomorrow when I do a dead cold start. What it was doing was start pretty quietly then if you left it idle it would get what sounded like a lifter ticking around cyl 5 or 6 for a minute or so, until it got some temp. After that, quiet. I had thought it was a loose mani nut but no joy. Edited 22/01/15 09:10 AM by Bomber 1

Anyway I'll get back in my box and keep reading.
