I've tried thinner oils b4... as low as 0W30 n now using thicker 15W50. The thinner the oil, engine runs smoother and feels lighter but burns up faster (I had to top up every 2 weeks or 2000km - missing 1L) and costs more (OUCH!). With thicker oil, engine feels heavier n less responsive but maintainance cheaper (I only top 1L when reaching 4000km). I even tried addictives (Tufoil included) with thicker oil such as Motul 4100 Power 15W/50 but makes no diff except some minor (less than 2% fuel savings - yes, my right foot is kinda heavy, mostly 70% on throttle)</p><p></p><p>After 2 months of using Motul, the tappet noise went away and only comes back when it is time to top up (almost reaching 4000km).</p></blockquote><p></p>
