Does the thicker oil dull the sound of piston slap and rattly tappets...
Or is it because Karl told you to run it
The actuall spec from the designers is 5w/40....

It has always run on Mobil 1 since i have owned it, and the guy before.
When the engine was taken apart it was "MINT"
Hence why i MUST run it on that for my own peice of mind
