Mobil 1 0W40 Engine Noise

[2azfeWeb]

Sounds like a normal TDI to me.

[tyeedwrds]

It's a diesel, it's supposed to sound that way!

Thank you all for your valuable opinion!

To stop unrelated recommendations, this is 1999 VW Passat 1.9 TDI AHU (no PD) with VW 502/505 oil spec requirements.

This engine is running for 2 years with no problems.

Kind Regards

Sounds like a good PD TDI. :) However, make sure the oil you're using has a VW 505.01 specification!



[terracrash999]

Sounds fine to me....just like a TDI



[Erikthebrave]

DIESEL POWER FTW!

[MrGTDONE]

the problem is that this engine is not made to work with 0w-40 stupid idiot put an oil with the right VAG norm in it

[brons2]

@MrGTDONE M1 0w40 is fine for the 1996-2003 TDIs, it meets VW502/505. Only with the Pump Duese TDI's in 2004 (505.01) and the newest CR TDIs (507) is different oil required.

[reap62]

yup, thats a diesel alright....?

[teeleengo]

That's a VW Diesel and it sounds perfect.

[mrdodgeram1999]

lol thats a diesel engine,Im a Diesel Tech too

[HiTechOilCo]

@mrdodgeram1999 - Why do you think that oil dipstick tube is moving around so much? lol :)

[Pinin500]

Sounds like a tractor, arggg

[charger19691]

Sounds to normal to me for a diesel engine.

[Wildfowler85]

I am not sure what the spec is for oil on a Sprinter. I hvae yet to work with one. Most of my adventures are with older engines. My best advice is to stick with the factory recommended weight. Bear in mind that climate can have an effect on what weight is the best in some/many cases.

[Kara0ki]

i hear lots of valve/cam follower clatter. light weight oils tend to do that to ohc engines

[mrdestoryit]

It's called a diesel engine they sound like that

[Wildfowler85]

Sounds like a lot of people here don't know what they are talking about. The 0w-40 is fine. It sounds like a perfectly normal diesel (I'm a diesel tech.) And if it is making a noise inaudible on the video, the oil is not the problem.

[vitaliyplatonov]

Hi all

Sorry for the lack of details. All tests done after engine been fixed by me - valves were banded. I'm using Mobil 0W40 now. :)

Kind Regards

@vitaliyplatonov Make sure you change to 5w-40 oil as soon as you experience more average oil use OR when the engine becomes hot faster than usual... 0w-40 is a good oil viscosity however it is thinner than "normal" oil. The cylinder walls become worn and that is natural so when you have driven perhaps over 120.000 or 150.000 km. make sure you start using 5w-40 because it is thikker and it can more easily lubricate the cylinders. 0w-40 wont be able to do it as effeciant as the 5w-40.

@Wildfowler85 what is better for a dodge sprinter 2008 crd: 5w-40 or 0W-40??

[david292978]

@Wildfowler85 what is better for a dodge sprinter 2008 crd: 5w-40 or 0W-40?? mobil 1? or does it really make a difference

[ALoveEternal]

Sounds like you need a good old fashioned 0w10 my friend.

[jmdonasc]

i had the same noise, putting 5w-30 back will solve the problem.

[michaelpack1988]

All I hear is a diesel engine

[sidescrollin]

so puting mobil 1 in your car turns it into a diesel?

[g0tFisH]

@sidescrollin lmao yes if u actually put mobil 1 into ur car it will become a diesel =] haha

[sidescrollin]

@g0tFisH sweeeeet

[kemorc]

@sidescrollin hell I wish it did...

[sidescrollin]

@kemorc lol then my jag would have a diesel..i wouldn't like that

[jet62095]

Oh no, Not that noise. If you want to get rid of that noise, You will need a whole new GASOLINE engine.
