Gentlrmen, I have one of those infamous Caddie 4.5 engines in an 88 ElDorado. I bought this vehicle new and it now has 117K mi. on it. It has the 'normal' front main bearing knock. The vehicle has always been on 10-30 Mobil 1. I'm told that it is annoying but not fatal. It certainly is annoying and I would like to quiet it down. Would use of Mobil 1 15-50 help? The car is domiciled in the Las Vegas area (hot) and is run fairly hard. Best regards. John--Las Vegas.
