Well I ran that castrol edge 5w-30 for two weeks, I reacon its too thin, when the engine is cold its all quiet til it warms up, so I went back to Mobil 1 10w-30, all quiet again no problems.

Redline ftw!! bit expensive though.. twice the price of the regular "magnatec" bullsh*t you get.. which doesn't do anything btw.

I made a post regarding this a while back, and we came to the conclusion redline was the best and a lot of people were happy with it
