My further advice is:
- Make sure that the oil level is correct using the link I provided earlier.
- Don't use any additives in the oil. If the level is low, you're wasting your time and if the oil is contaminated a far better solution is to drain it and use Comma 'Flush Out'.
But all that rattling and belt noise is nothing to do with the oil.
