I also have a FG that had a slight tick on startup, just did the 15,000km service using HPR5 again no noise.
For what its worth my AU11 Fairlane has 79,000km's and has been using HPR10 and is nice and quite also.
Thanks for the heads up 4vxc! Have heard nothing but praise for the HPR5, sounds like its good stuff mate! I know it was a semi synth, but now full synth, definitely worth considering down the track for sure!

cheer's, Maka
