Yep.. The dirtier/thicker your oil is, the longer it takes for your lifters/tappets to fill with oil.. |

Also on my AU1 XR8 there is a ticking sound that comes from the left hand front gaurd when it's cold.
But thats's something to do with the anti polution and nothing to worry about, it's very common. I heard an AU V8 Fairmont doing exactly the same thing the other day. |
