Hi Jay,

I'm from Australia and in Summer because of high temperatures (30C +) I am using BP course 25w-60. In winter I use 10W-40. My Mercedes mechanic tells me synthetic oil may clean the lifters. Sure don't want to cause oil leak problems though, so maybe I'll just put up with early morning lifter ticks

Thank you for your reply.
