Saw this post from an eminent Renault specialist down here in Australia, and thought it may be of interest for broader discussion here.
Not wanting this to be a gotcha moment for this bloke, just keen to learn what’s going on here and what we can all learn. I love being wrong - it means I learnt something new!
The suggestion is that a high zinc oil or a zinc additive causes hydraulic lifter sticking that was resolved with an intensive flush. For our American friends, the engine in question is a normal design twin cam 4 cylinder with lifters and roller rockers under the cam.
