Hi guys. Just wanting to know what oil people are running in their 3.8L N/A ecotecs? Currently I’m running 15w40 full synthetic in my VY and I’ve tried a few other grades, and I’m noticing off a cold start it’s got a fair old rattle going and it seems to take about 5-10 seconds to build oil pressure. I service it between 5000 and 7500km and it travels around 40000km per year, so it doesn’t sit around. Just wanting some ideas on what oil people use and how I can go about reducing the rattling. Engine seems pretty healthy however I’m yet to put an oil pressure gauge on it
