Go back to the regular 10 30 conventional oil.Forget about the "Ill add 10 horsepower oil".

I would inspect your old spark plugs to see if they were the exact same type as the ones you put in.

Sometimes colder spark plugs are used to prevent detonation/rattle that you are now hearing after the spark plug change.

id look more into the plugs being your problem .. although you should not change back to regular oil after using synthetic

ORIGINAL: steve r

I just changed my oil with royal purple 10 30 and my engine sounds different like there is a knock or something?? I drove it like 50 miles and it got quiter but its stillthere.. any one know what that is?
Judging by your back tires, to many "1st gear only" donuts? Try shifting into 2nd.J/K, nice car...Could be a mutitude of things, I'd have to hear it, sorry. Hope it's nothing major because that's a nice looking fox. Good luck.
