Gonna try asking.Ask your mechanic if he has any sort of oil pressure tester.

Try recording and share here.Ive done the isolation process before. I got try to find where does the noise come from and I felt like it was from the top of the engine, from the top of the head. It feels like from the rotation of the camshafts (Im no pro in engine parts, whatever I said might not make sense). U want me to record the noise? Will it be helpful? Thank you.
When your seals are shit and you want to switch to FS.. sure la.Hard to say, my ex colleague bought a second hand old car, straight go service put in FS, next thing you know about a week later, oil leak started......lol
Even my old Hyundai Sonata III, running SS 10w-40, last service got one more FS 5w-40, thought of finishing it, poured it in, now smoking when idling......lol
Personally I'd stick with the 5W30 or 5W40 range of oils. But I don't know the condition of your engine I wouldn't recommend anything you're not already using.Owh okay. So you would recommend to use diesel eo? Your engine use hydraulic lifters which means it auto adjusts? So, you're using diff type of eo so that you could eliminate the noise right? . Mine is a 4g15 where I could adjust the tappet to eliminate the sound if the tappet is the main issue kan? :wavey:
Haha probably cleaning out all the gunk inside. Rings kong d ah?Hard to say, my ex colleague bought a second hand old car, straight go service put in FS, next thing you know about a week later, oil leak started......lol

You can google up how to test oil pressure and see the tool they use. If your mechanic is not familiar with the tool can go try another shop or so bro.Gonna try asking.
Diesel EO gets rid of dirt super well, but the additives aren't really ngam for petrol engines. You can use this for 1 oil change just to get crap out of your engine then use a good oil to mask the tappet noise.Owh okay. So you would recommend to use diesel eo?

Not just any diesel engine oil, those rated for both petrol and diesel cars, mean S and C rated. Those rated C strictly for diesel car don't use....lolOwh okay.

Shell FS is pretty shit at masking noise though. Y2188 has experience with it
He pandai pandai thought FS oil better......lolWhen your seals are shit and you want to switch to FS.. sure la.
Suspect valve seals because driving time no smoke...Haha probably cleaning out all the gunk inside. Rings kong d ah?
Yeah, or maybe bring photo of the tool together for reference.You can google up how to test oil pressure and see the tool they use. If your mechanic is not familiar with the tool can go try another shop or so bro.
Will keep an eye on that.Not just any diesel engine oil, those rated for both petrol and diesel cars, mean S and C rated. Those rated C strictly for diesel car don't use....lol
whoa.. your lifters damn loose. like there's no oil there.. during cold start, open the oil cap and see if there's any oil moving in there.
Yup, very bad. Mine only click clack a while, and once oil is up no more....whoa.. your lifters damn loose. like there's no oil there.. during cold start, open the oil cap and see if there's any oil moving in there.
Owh, okay. I got you some pictures, you might wanna have a look at that. The first pic is before I start the car, as a reference. The second pic is after I start the car, maybe around 3-4 mins after I crank. Im not sure if the pictures are helpful, but who knows, maybe you could find something from it. Thank you.whoa.. your lifters damn loose. like there's no oil there.. during cold start, open the oil cap and see if there's any oil moving in there.
