Hi there. Is it still knocking? Did you drive it after hearing the knocking? Check your oil. It could be that your oil is very low.

Yes check oil already, just a little low

Is it pretty much always knocking? Or only under acceleration?

 

[Nkay]

Yes much while driving

Someone told me I should go service it again but this time I should use thick oil

I would definitely take it in for service and ask them what they think about thicker oil before you make any changes...
