Tut tut. 142k! Mines on more than twice that and I still use 10w40.
My dad used cheap oil once in his 405 when I first started driving and the car started overheating on the motorway. I didn't realise at the time it was cheap oil and thought it might of been a fault with the cooling system. Changed loads of stuff, it only got better after an oil change and then my dad told me about the oil he used.
Try the right oil and it should pay for itself with better economy.
