Re: A new noise coming from engine compartment

Thank you 12Ounce, always good to read your advise.

Well, it's not that the engine is very noisy, it isn't; I would say it's a normal healthy sounding engine but there is a noticeable difference between 15w40 and 5w30 weight.

Synchronizer? Is that the one by the IMRC actuator? I used to think that one would squeal. That's not my case, I'm having a hard time trying to describe the noise, but I would say it MIGHT be a "tapping" sound just to give an idea. I never noticed before switching to 5w30.

Too bad you can't take a look at the video...

Oscar.
