Gave the Squareback an oil change last week and saw some 20-40 Oil intended for "light diesel" use. Used it with marked improvement. Before there was a light "knock" when starting which I put down to big ends a little worn ( after ~ 380,000 miles with only tune ups seemed a safe bet) . This oil though has totally stopped that noise and engine seems quieter all round. When you read the blurb on the container it seems to have more "additives" to reduce carbon. Probably wouldnt go astray on a high mileage petrol engine anyway. John
