I just put some mobil1 10w30 hm oil and a new mobil oil filter on my 4.8 chevy truck. That oil has my truck going tick, tick,tick at idle. It has about 75miles on it. Can i dump the oil out of the filter and use it again?

I agree with Titan, just leave the filter alone, change the oil with the M1 syn oil and be done with it.

Thank you, That is what i will do. The truck is quiet on the regular M1 stuff at least the newer stuff. I did tick like that with the older M1 though. Kinda funny. The thing is quiet as can be with chevron 5-30, havoline 5-30, super tech synthetic and maxlife 5-30. Just thought I would give the M1 HM a try. I don't think it is a viscosity thing. I think it is more of a PAO thing. just sounds like 16 rocker arms going tick, tick, tick. Not loud. Just bothers me.

It makes this ticking noise both cold & hot???
Personally, I would have changed filter brands first - before dumping approximently $25 worth of new oil. You could have drained the filter - then reused it - had you determined 100% that it's the fault of the oil - not the filter brand/style.

Harry, I am thinking of trying the amsoil oil and filters. I found the 5-30 local but would have to order the filters and the 0w30 if i want them.
