#9: Re: does my engine sound right? **movie included** Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2012 3:00 pm ---- Maybe with that kind off mileage might be worth putting a slightly thicker oil in but some thing good not main dealer crap.
Engine sounds like its Running with thin/wrong oil.
Ford recommend 10/40 semi for my st but I'm running 5/40 fully castrol edge sport to cope with the higher bhp.
I would put a thicker oil personally.
#10: Re: does my engine sound right? **movie included** Author: donkeyding, Location: manchesterPosted: Tue Feb 07, 2012 3:23 pm ---- Hmmmm would mean droppin the oil n new filter
What oil would you suggest then??

#12: Re: does my engine sound right? **movie included** Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Tue Feb 07, 2012 5:00 pm ---- Sounds like my GTi, used to be silent, i notice it running now! Mines only covered 45k.
