I only ever rocked Mobil 1 on my last one and it ran very quiet. It's possible the grade was different back then though as I don't remember it being 0w-40?! i have considered splashing out big on some Fuchs Titan stuff, as recommended my oilman. However, no point unless these oil changes help at all. Looks hot hot hot this weekend so will get out for a damn good thrashing....

Oh, and it's definitely topped up to (just above?) the max? lol This is actually a good question as its virtually impossible to see the oil on the dip stick straight after an oil change. I put in approx 3.5 litres and I 'think' I'm just below the max. I thought over max is baaad?

You'll have to do as recommended to me on here the other week Pull the dipstick out, wipe it off, only put it halfway back in, give it a while for any oil dragged up the dipstick tube to drain back down - then it should be much easier to confirm the exact oil level when you re-dip! Mine always seems to look full on a quick check, but adding a bit more oil seems to improve the oil pressure! Perhaps the dipstick lies lol Missus' car's oil level light has been coming on recently - it has more than enough oil, Canoeing thing... Will have to get that emptied and refilled so I *know* how much it has in it lol

When I do the next one I will measure out 3.8l then I will know for sure.

Early days, but the (cheap 10w-40) oil change already seems to have improved the hot ticking, so I'm feeling optimistic. Will thrash for a another few hundred miles then put the fully synth in. So far so good...
Dread to think what oil was in it!!
