Here in Canada, at Walmart, premix is $17.88, concentrate $18.88 and MB premix about $23. Prestone allmakes premix is $15.47, which would likely make the G05 a good choice. Cheapest aluminum compatible housebrand AF is $11.99.
Not suggesting this, but my 1972 owners manual say car takes 15L or about 4 usgal. It says to fill with "treated water" with 2.5-5 cc "treating agent" per litre! (in another place it says add 10% anti-corrosion oil)
The knocking noise is a tough one and i am no expert. But some quick thought: Did you get enough oil pressure to tension chain? Double check cam timing?
