Hi,
For some unknown reason started reading different forums on engine oil for my 1994 C2 Tip with 73K miles. I am now totally confused !!!
For the last 10 years I have been following the standard recommendation of Mobil 1 0W 40 and have had absolutely no issues in terms of leaks, engine noise or oil pressure. I hear you ask well what's the problem, just stick to the same. Well I am curious as when the engine is incurring wear( not that my car is a high mileage example) is it advisable to change the viscosity of the oil. One of the things I did read is that 0W 40 being a thinner oil is designed for colder climate and means that the tappets take longer to load up with a more tapping noise until they are up to full pressure - something I do experience - although I never over rev the engine until it is up to pressure. Would be interested to hear your viewpoint on this subject.
