Originally Posted By: UG_Passat I use the cheapest HDEO, whether it is Shell or Chevron. the upgraded HPFP will put more pressure on the cam follower, leading to more wear. It should be checked/replaced every 16,000 km. Shell Helix HDEO is a good choice also. Regarding the cam follower I'll...

Thanks for your input. Mind me asking why did you switch to Mobil 1?

Hey Guys Firstly I am located in the Middle East (Amman - Jordan) my country is kinda dusty but not as much as gulf countries. Temperature during summer doesn't exceed 39c and in winters doesn't go below 0c, and lastly our fuel is considered [censored] and its advertised as 95RON but my local...

Originally Posted By: Clevy The 300v is awesome stuff and if you can get that cheap that would be my first choice for sure. It sure does seem that all 300v line is an amazing product! I might also consider going to the 300v 5w 40 this time. Will have to see what our folks here suggest

Hey guys! Just a little update, I am noticing that my valveterain noises has increased. Not sure why this is happening. I have replaced my thermostat with a 160 degree to pull some extra timinig. You guys think I should go ahead and use a thicker oil? Something like the Motul X-clean 5w-40...

Smoother valvetrain it is! Who said anything about faster RPMs :P lol Dparm i guess ill just check the oil after 5000km and see how its doing. But I think it would be safer to have it changed after ~5000km

Thank you guys! Loving all your opinions and inputs. As I mentioned earlier I don't have that variety of oils to choose from other than the ACdelco and motul oils. Everything seems fine till that moment while running motul 5w30 300v oil. Actually am not sure if is a placebo effect but I feel...

Thanks for all your feedback guys! I went ahead and changed my oil. went with motul 300v. Guess I'll have my oil changed after 5000 km to stay on the safe side
