I thought 5w40 was too thin for an average engine. | |

some oils are pants and you can really hear the tappets, the best oil and im sure 90% of people will agree is vauxhall 5w40 or 10w40. | |

unlikely that thin oil would cause a problem at high revs, it would be at idle when oil pressure is low. | |

If its only happened since the new oil it could be that your new oil is too thin. | |
