1999 VTS. 95k
Short (15 Mins) twice daily.
No mods and no track use. Just used as a standard car. Spirited drive.
Lifters seem to be making a ticking so wondering if the oil currently in there is very thin?? Dont know if i can get slightly thicker to stop that or whether they just need replacing?
Recommendation on engine oils on your site appreciated. Price not really the object.

Hi Oilman
I took my car to the garage the other day because when stood still in traffic for a long time I get blue smoke out of the back once traffic moves on. It has been doing this for a while.
The "mechanic" could not find a problem but mentioned my oil was too thin and was seeping into the breathers causing the blue smoke. I'm using *cough* halfrauds *cough* 10/40 part sythentic oil (there was a free screwdriver set what can i say!). Is there anything that can thicken up the oil or can you recommend a decent oil to try please?
Car:
VTR 98 with 95k miles.
Thanks

How are things?
I am about to buy some oil from your site again and put a big order in - are there any discounts going this month as I missed that cracking one that ran out on the 31st July!
After some 5w-40 for my VTS...
Cheers

Guy,
I have a 2000 mk2 VTS with bmc filter, newmans ph3 cams, predator ecu, 4 branch, decat and magnex single box.
I've had this setup for a few thousand miles now, and just developed a tapping noise. Sounds like cam followers.
My question is this - is there a particular oil or additive to quieten the noise or could this be a more serious problem?
Thanks,
Kev
