Hi all,
I just purchased the car last month and has 66k miles. I changed the engine oil recently and I drove the car ~300ish miles. While the car was sitting in my mechanic garage to do a tune up, he changed the engine oil as well. He said the oil so dark. I told him that I just changed the oil and he was surprised. He also mentioned that the lifters are bit tired & old.
Anyway, I took the car for a drive today (2 days after the recent oil change) and the weather was a bit cold and there was a ticking noise coming from the engine. Once the car fully warmed up and the sound gone. However, I was driving up-hill then the ticking sound came back again.
The question now, what is the recommendation for (OCI, oil type and grade, & buildup cleaners (e.g., seafoam, berryman, MMO)?
Your input will be very helpful
