I used 10w 30 in my GV as well but used Castrol.
Never had chain rattle.

Why not? What about a different brand like Flashlube?

How much kero do you use?

Any problem with using the 10W/40 Oil over 10W/30??

Check your manual, you'll see 10w40 recommended over 10w30 in situations where the ambient temperature exceeds 30*C.

Thats a good thing for using 10w40 over 10w30 esp here in SA where summer is hot. I checked the manual and saw that 10w40 had the best range for me but other than temp ranges whats the benefit of using 10w30 over 10w40?

The recommended temperature range are as follows

10w30: -25Celsius to 38Celsius
10w40: -25Celsius to no limit

In other words the difference between the two oils is the 10w40 has same performance at low temperatures, but works well also above 38C

So why are so many using 10w30? Because they don't need the higher running temps and prefer the thinner oil for less friction??
