KrazyCutlass1995 Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 i used to have the common knock in morning with my 3100 and i added maxlife engine restore from valvaline and now it has gone away / really quiet ... dont know if i got lucky and it just went away but i would say for whoever has a 3100 and has this problem should try it.

91GranSport Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 I use Valvoline MaxLife 10W30 in the summer. I've been using MaxLife since it first came out just a little while ago. The only exception is during the winter when I switch to Formula-1 0W30 synthetic blend for the colder temperatures. I changed my oil last week and I used Quaker State Peak Performance for the first time. The only reason I used it was because it was on sale and I was low on cash. Other than that I think Valvoline MaxLife is one of the best oils available. i used to have the common knock in morning with my 3100 and i added maxlife engine restore from valvaline and now it has gone away / really quiet ... dont know if i got lucky and it just went away but i would say for whoever has a 3100 and has this problem should try it.

gp90se Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Maxlife is basiclly gasket softeners, vasoline and good quality oil. Im a big fan of the lucas products (with the acception of the p/s stop leak that doesnt do a damn thing) -Jeff Valvoline Instant Oil Change Tech.
