diesel2000 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Could the grade of oil the garage used cause the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 It could be worth trying a 5w-40 or 10w-40 if the garage used a 5w-30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
