Hi 4vxc, i'm getting a bit of a tac noise on startup but only on stinking hot days, on cold days its fine, quiet as a mouse. Had a look at some oil temp charts & yep the upper end heat range of 5/30 didn't suit the climate where i live hence the one point increase in hot viscosity. Average summer temp on startup here is around 23c, winter is around 5c but on colder mornings can get into minus temps pretty easy!

cheer's, Maka
