I am planning to change the hydraulic lifters in my Escort's engine as i'm getting tired of the constant Rattling noise they make.
I have a Haynes manual for it, and before fitting the new hydraulic tappets they recommend placing them in Hypoid gear oil for between 24-72h before fitment.
Any idea as to why they would recommend Hypoid gear oil versus engine oil? i do happen to have some left over EP90 Gear oil that i could use.
