    Oils definately ain't oils

    Hi all

    I just had another service on my Disco 300tdi.

    My last service done at a reputable sa landy agent.

    Had tappets done also and found motor was noticeably louder.

    Another(my usual) mechanic did oil service and used a different oil(semi synthetic).
    The motor is very noticeably quieter.
    Had tappets re-done also and yes 3 were slightly loose but the oil made a big difference.

    Next time I will use the new Nulon I heard good reports about.
    Very very happy.

    Castrol, Castrol or castrol for me, Magnatec in the engine.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    You do realise that perceived 'noise' per se is no indicator whatsoever of an oils performance

    Yep I do.

    I do realise that most good quality oils nowadays are good and since I drop oils every 5k km's, its fair to say, the oil is doing a good job and its quieter.

    V8Ian, its castrol actually.
    I am ususally a fan of Penrite but this is good enough for me.
