i found that using better oil makes the ticking go away...keep that in mind when changing it

hehe....lifter tick is considered normal in my car.<P>What is the season like where you live? I know everybody says 10w30 anytime, all the time but in the colder climates some peoples engines fair better with 10w40 when it drops below 40 degrees F.<P>BTW, I've always used syntehtics. But on my last oil change I put in this new stuff fro mcastrol called "Cam2." Anyone have experience with it? I don't think it's a synthetic; but my car is still running just fine.
Elena, don't misunderstand. A pro isn't someone who sacrifices themselves for their job. That is just a fool.
