Default trouble with my rs turbo
ive done an oil and filter change on my turbo and used millers 15w 50 oil. since starting the car, i now has a loud top end tap. is this oil to thick or will the tap go wen it has warmed up?

thanks

it had a damn hard run last night and never missed a beat, never tapped once. dropped the oil today replaced with millers 15W/50 mineral and now it taps even when the temp guage starts going up

cheers
