my mitsubishi engine makes a noise..a thump that is constant at idle. This noise started the last oil chamge with castrol edge 0w-40.
Oil analysis was done on that oil in the link above.
the engine is very smooth while accelerating and decelerating also smooth on the highway, exhaust is clean, engine isnt burning oil,fuel consumption is excellent at 31mpg mix of city and highway miles.
After i changed to amsoil 10w-40 the noise is muffled, but the thump is still noticable only on idle.
i will do another analysis in april on this amsoil.
What are your thoughts on the source of this noise as its driving me crazy. At first i thought it was a main bearing, but the sound should get worse at highway speeds.
