Hi all
I changed my oil and filter last weekend for a semi 10w 40 oil and renault filter. A couple of days later, I have noticed that sometimes, I will start the car and the quiet startup tappet noise will go quickly as usual but about 30 seconds - 1 minute later when driving, I hear a really loud tappet noise which may last for another 30 seconds - 2 minutes. It sounds awfull and had no issues what so ever before I changed the oil.
I dont know what oil was being used before as it was the first time I changed the oil on the car scince ive had it.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be wrong or do you think that it may just be bad\incorrect oil?
