I have been considering to switch to a 10w-30 engine oil, as I have been using 10w-40(Titan UNIC MC Full Synthetic) for the last year or so.

The problem is appearently the cost of the oil I have been using and the fact that my engine keeps losing oil (and I don't know where it happens) I see no appearant leaks or any signs from where I park my car, nor do I see smoke coming from the tailpipe. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Anyways my Question: Is switching to this new type of oil (10w-30 Ford Synth-Blend) a good Idea or bad??

Is this type of oil going to give me more of the crazy tapping noise of VLA's or less ??? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

is the Oil I am considering too thin for the engine?? That is because I live in a very HOT-Humid conditions.

Any Idea helps <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
