I have an Engine Knock that has Developed in the Past 10k Mile's, just after changing to Synthetic. I have a Theory that it is the fact that the Synthetic Oil is Thinner, and driving my Camaro Z28 without the Engine Warmed-up with this Thinner Type of Oil (Even though it is 10w-30). I think that 10w-30 Synthetic is more like 5w-30 Regular Motor Oil.
Also, I have noticed that my LS1 burns oil with Synthetic. It Sucks!! I must make it Thicker, somehow!!
So, what can I do to make the Motor Oil Thicker?!?
Is there such thing as 15w-30?!? Or 15w-40 Synthetic?!?
I have tried adding Lucas Oil to the Oil, and it doesn't get rid of the Knocking Sound. I don't believe that the Lucas Oil is Thick Enough.
The Engine knock has gotten worse over time, and louder. It never did this, until After I switched to Synthetic.
I don't want to switch back to Regular Oil, unless its Safe. However, the Engine DID run Quieter with Regular Oil!!
So what should I do?!?
