was wondering what kind of oil to slip into the heap when I change it at the weekend,it has a bit of a tappety sound,and i dont like it as it sounds pooey  already bought some decent plugs n leads ready for service session, was just wondering if castrol gtx was as good as people say? or if I should just stick to vauxhalls semi synth? any words of wisdom would be great!

that'll be the best way, changing the oil won't sort out shagged lifters
