From the 1st start up with Castrol my valve nuisance is gone & the car runs as quiet as a fine running sewing machine as I expected it to do from day 1. I'll never believe that going to mobil 5-40 would have ever brought me the results that Castrol has!! I don't live in any high heat temp. year round that the 0-40 would have caused this valve tick. Much variable temps. here in S. W. Ohio. Bye Bye mobil.
I may part ways with the Mobil 1 but for now I got it because being a newbie and trying to stick with factory specs was my goal. after talking to a tech he said that the 5 40 is also fine but does not recommend going heavier than that. Either way its good to hear about the options.
THnx
