Now the cold weather has started my engine is feeling the difference. On cold start the tappets are still if not more noisy. But now when fully warm and under a slight load the tappets are more noticeable. I currently have 5w-50 fully synthetic so i do not know if this is anything to do with it.

What are ester oils and what are there advantages.
