Hi,
OK I have two situations:
-1991 BMW 318i, 83k miles. Has hydraulic valves, and I hae noticed that there is a ticking in the tappets. Worse when hot... I might have seen a bit of oil consumption over that last 2000 miles on this pennzoil longlife 15w-40, but I need to verify later today. Most important is to clean out the hydraulic valves, to hopefully make the tick go away
-1998 Chevy S-10, 35k miles. Had a trace of glycol in the oil at last analysis. want to be sure that in case there is a bit of a leak from time to time (if so it doesnt appear to be serious, and I think it was due to a power flush) the engine is better protected. The engine sits for about a week at a time then is ddriven so the oil gets up to temperature. only has 35k miles on it, and the oil has been changed every 3k, using mostly pennzoil.
What would be best for these two situations? Neither car leaks when synth is used, I just want to have the cleaning and protection for each. What do I want, auto RX, schaeffers neutra of #132?
Auto rx is expensive, I dont know how much the neutra costs, but Ive heard good things about both... So comments and suggestions would be really appreciated.
