I only put 100 RON gas in it, pretty much the most premium you can find around in Romania. I believe it equals to 95 Pump to you guys across the pond.

No, that was changed relatively recently along the clutch fork and the pivot.

Not the same sound either.

I am also quite perplexed as to how would this happen. It is 5w40 after all, not a thick-ass 10w60 racing oil.

And i find it weird the issue has started happening during the hot summer...

IF bearings turn out to be the issue, is there any preventive maintenance i could to do avoid a spun rod? Change the bearings?

I will be changing the oil soon to 5w30 anyway.

I was planning on going down to 5w30 for the next service. Let's hope the issue goes away by itself.

Or 5w30, which is the recommended grade for heavy usage.

I do agree 5w40 is a step-up, but it has run it for 40.000 miles. I doubt that's the problem

It's supposed to look like it's eating itself out? I'm not quite sure this is normal.

No one here with lowering springs on stock dampers?

Maybe some might see this as a laughable non-issue. But for those who track the car (like me) with a non-baffled stock pan, oil levels are worrying if too high.

I would also like to add that after i changed the tob, fork and pivot the car is more "driveable", first and second gears are slightly less crunchy when cold and the clutch pedal feels softer.
