Omega General Help / Re: noise after oil change

« on: 05 August 2007, 12:33:34 »

the 15-40 was put in because it ssaid that was the oil for a 2.5 V6 in the oil book!!!!
I will try the lifter fluid, then put in a semi.
The guy I had bought it from had put in full synth about 2500 miles before i got it, but on a long run, 479 mile, the computer gave me the oil low warning!! so I thought that the fully synth was a bit too thin for her!
but im not  mechanic and am an omega newbie, so what do i know!!!!
thanks for the help guys, will  let you know how it goes inna bit!

Omega General Help / noise after oil change

« on: 04 August 2007, 19:00:28 »

Hi, I have just changed the oil on my 2.5 V6 reflection. After the oil change, there has been a tappety noise which I thought would go once the oil reached all parts. After a 5 mile gentle run, its still there. I have put in 5.8l oil, of the 15-40 variety. I used engine flush first and did all the right things, so what can it be? The engine didn't make this tappety noise before, or if it did, it was hardly noticeable.

any help would be appreciated!
