Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

Your supposed to use reg oil first oil change or you can do two as i did. First one you drive about 500 miles with the normal oil to wash out the engine basically, second you drive around and toss it around a lil. Then i went to synthetic blend for one change then to full synthetic. Throw some reg oil in and see if it gets rid of the knocking. If it sounds like your valves are tapping might need to check your valve adjustment. How loud is it tapping? IF its not that bad then its normal.

Maybe the previous owner used thick oil its whole life and you just pushed out all that thick oil with thin oil.
But I wouldnt use synthetic on a F22 motor if thats what you have, thats just a waste of money.
