Hello all, right basically 7 months ago I rung vauxhall up to order a full service kit and the best oil type for my corsa b 1.4 sport they say is 10/40 semi syth now the engines are getting older they require a thinker oil was 5/30 semi syth. Anyways now due to the weather the oils at its thickest viscosity and now on a cold start the tappets, tap real loud then lubricate after a minute but also the tappets started gradualy tapping more since the service just taken it as general wear and tear so I've been speaking to a few garages to get different opinions and there telling me to change the oil to 5/30 fully syth because it'll help quieten the tappets down and help get around the engine quicker so basically does anybody else use 5/30 full syth and have no probs or what's the best oil you think?

And has anybody done a powerflex front end kit does it really make much difference?
Thanks all Matt
