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...

[censored] :S The 160 stat was recommended by my tuner.

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! <img src="/forums/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="laugh" title="laugh" height="15" width="15" /> 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

Ducman than you for the detailed explanation I really appreciate it! Our Mogul dealer matched the 300v price to match the ACdelco 5w30 dexos1 price. The sad par is that motul only offers 8100 Xclean 5w40 that's certified by GM and its approved to Dexos2. @supercity again I appreciate your input...

Bigt61 I appreciate your input buddy! X-clean and X-cess are both available here at our dealer. My car is running cat less (Long tube headers) coupled with a K&N cold air intake with a custom HP tuners tune. The car does almost15000 km a year (max)

Thanks for your reply SXE10. I guess there is no harm in using the 300v then. Actually summer temprature doesn't exceed 38 celcius. What's the optimal intervals to change the oil?

Hope ill get lots of feedback as i should have my oil / filter changed by tomorrow :< To add to my first post our fuel is <img src="/forums/graemlins/sick.gif" alt="sick" title="sick" height="15" width="15" />
