Ive got a '99 V6 its a bit tappetty for the first few minutes then quietens down, its only done 39k klms so it shouldn't be due to wear, might be due to sitting around for a while?
just orderd this of Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=013

hi,
thanks for your reply.i added some of that after my oil change.it did quiten it down a bit,but i only used one bottle,supposedly enough to treat 3-6 litres of oil,and i think the v6 is 7 with a filter change.
thanks again
jamie
