Ross Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 My ea81t sounds like a dog for the first second or so when started, and the oil pressure light stays on for this period also. By "sounds like a dog" i mean it has a deep knocking growling noise. As soon as the oil pressure light goes out it sounds fine. Does anyone know if this is a problem, or if its just normal ea81t behavior (hla s filling up or something??)? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudisFun Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Try using synthetic and lucas oil treatment, fix the start-up chater for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'm running castrol magnatec (smi synth) and crc lifter cleen now. The sound its making isn't really a chatter, its a lot deeper than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudisFun Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 The lighter the oil the quicker the full circulation at start up, are running 10w30? To answer your real question, yes it's normal. When starting her up count one-one thousand, two, one thousand after the starter is dis-engadged. If the noise presists for longer, try using that lucas stuff cause you got a problem. Other wise don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
