Changed My OIL

[MarkOfDeath]

This time I used Castrol Cold Start protection and I had to buy a K&N oil filter since motorcraft was out, However the castrol and k&n got rid of my loud timing chains for the first 2-3 seconds when I start my car. I might end up buying the K&N from now on

ummm, Oh ya I forgot to mention I also Chipped a tooth on my 4.10 pinion, Its on the outer edge and I cleaned it up but Im going have to rebuild soon, I might go but chances are looking slim, also Im dropping the whole rear suspension so I can clean prep and paint evertything, I plan on undercoating the whole car

I use Castrol startup oil, it "seems" to have quieted things.

Hmm i use 5w 30 mobile one and the k&n and i still get the noise at start up. Must be the oil.

FWIW I've used Castrol 5W-30 SynBlend with either MotorCraft or a K&N Gold filter since I've had the '93.

Driller can you hear the chain tensioners on cold startup on your 93?

 

[John Hubertz]

Is that cold start protection product an oil or an additive or what?

Sounds wonderful!

Driller can you hear the chain tensioners on cold startup on your 93?

Can't say I do. I park in a small garage. If it's there, it should be prominent. But I admit my hearing isn't what it used to be. I've heard it on others, so I can hear it, but I don't notice it on my '93.
