I went from magnatec to edge 10/60 and it is much quieter with the xer lobes Daz .

Yah. Mine is definately much noisier with the cam. It has a synthetic oil in it at the moment, redline I believe. May change it to Castrol edge though...

im running a 224/228/112 comp in mine and i cant believe how much quieter the engine is,like i said has very minimal engine noise on cold start.the engine was never really noisy anyway but ts deffinatly quieter now,well worth the swap in my opinion.

i use FUCHS GTO 10w/30 synthetic in my L98 6.0ltr VE SS ..i change the oil every 5000km and the oil is always clean with no start up engine noise..
a very well priced synthetic motor oil @ around $44.00 per 5ltr.

speaking of oils,

Yer, where did you read that fool...:flipoff:
You said " after reading a lot of threads in here " so I thought you would know.
I'll stick to the bi-lo / coles 5ltr bottles, works a treat. :)

I use the same oil in my VE SS as I did with my VY SS, Fuchs Titan Super GTO 10W30. I have always found Fuchs to be a great product at a very reasonable price. Bought my last lot from Bursons but am only changing it every 10000 KM’s. Still find it relatively clean even after the 10 K.
