Can they be adjusted or are they self adjusting ?
I used 10w 40 oil

is that too thin ?

I was thinking of using 15w, dont think there would be much difference though

There not adjustable.

To try and stop them from making noises you want to take them out, put them in oil and push them in and out untill there free to move.

Easy.
