Defcon5 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 thicker oilbut what do i knowI would imagine he is already using a 10w-40, in which case I wouldnt recommend going up to a 15w-40, too thick, especially in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I use 15w-40...is that bad lol? the nosie could be tappets? i get it when its on a cold start up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherReeve Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I use 15w-40...is that bad lol? the nosie could be tappets? i get it when its on a cold start upI think thats too thick. if you are using this oil i suggest you let the car run for a few mins before driving to let the oil warm up and get thinner. Or just drain it out. hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fountain Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Is it lowered by any chance ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I always let my engine warm up before I drive it anywhere And the reason I use thicker oil is because my seals are worn so takes longer for the oil to burn but some how the thick oil has sealed the worn parts up and stopped burning oil lol! bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk3polocoupe Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 yeah it is lowered and im using 5w30 oil as recommended by autodata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I use 15w-40...is that bad lol? the nosie could be tappets? i get it when its on a cold start upTry using a 5w-40/0w-40, thinner on start up so circulates quicker, but just as thick when at operating temp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
