I change the engine oil 10/40, as is evident in the Internet and then I heard a voice from inside the engine friction strange sound I had not heard of before a friend said to me, oil is again 25/50

Not too sure here what you are trying to say or ask, but I'd recommend at least 10/50 straight oil.   I'd suggest you try the Diesel Mobil1, it isn't going to do any damage to the innards of the motor.

I run Mobil1 Turbo Diesel 5W-40 Fully Synthetic Heavy Duty in MGM and the Chevy Trike.

My Dodge Dakota, Mercedes engine, I use 10W/40 Mobil1 straight oil, same stuff goes in the wifes Toyota Highlander..

Did you make sure the circle on the back of the bottle is empty in the lower half?

There is a language translation problem in this post, or a practical joke is being attempted. Think I'll come back later.  Hoser  ???

i'm thinking it's a person from over seas, and they're using a translation program to ask a simple question.  seeing that they've posted "1" post, they want to know what weight oil to use.....  use 10w-40 oil. classification SF or SG, HP4 4 stroke oil.  good luck, and from which country are you in?

maybe this will help;

The OP is from Egypt and English is likely not his native language.

He's telling us he changed his oil and noticed afterward the sound of friction.

He's asking in the poll whether you think the noise is because of the oil or is a problem in the engine.

My understanding is that that will cause clutch slippage, but not noise.  Correct?

Going back and reading, it looks like you're right.  I am quite impressed by your ability to read what looks like machine translation.



As for the original question:  I think hearing a better description of the noise would help, but as long as you put in enough oil, I don't think it would cause a significant noise.  Did the noise start immediately after the oil change, or gradually?
If I'm reading correctly, you used to use 25/50 weight oil, changed to 10/40, heard the noise, and switched back to 25/50.  Is that correct?

From what I get out of it he changed oil, apparently to 10W-40, and heard a noise that he had not heard before. From there I read that he changed back to 25/50.

Not so much, 'Drifter.  I have the advantage of being able to see from where the post is made.

We must have chased him away. Or maybe he was just out trolling.
