Can anyone reccomend a good oil for my 316i M40 engine?It was very quiet,no rattles from the top end,untill i changed the oil a couple of weeks ago.Started off sounding ok,but has gradually got worse,and now sounds like a diesel.I used Magnetec 15/40 thinking this would be ok but...
Surely cant be camshaft/bearing wear as this would be more gradual,possible hydraulic lifters?Any advice would be great,cheers guys
Oil advice?
