All vauxhalls do that, its the hydraulic lifters or sumfink as they build up oil pressure!
Dont think thinner oil improves it!

Stick with the magnatec or use vauxhalls own 10w40 semi synthetic, whatever you can get hold of cheapest.

10/40 is fine or maybe 15/40

hey guys, wats the best performance oil to use in a 1994 Corsa Gsi with 75k???

mine makes a tapping/knocking noise for a while upon start up, was told to use a (expensive) fully synthetic oil sumthing like a 0w-40!? but then i heard that its way to thin and will make the knocking whorse!
is 10w-40 oil the best for my car? as im currently using 10w-40 GTX magnatec.
