Guys:
After a recent oil/filter change I noticed valve train noise during cold start up. I never had this problem before and wondered if I had a lifter leakage problem. First step I did was to change the oil filter (Fram Extended Guard) for a Mobil extended protection filter.
Apparently. the problem has gone away. I say apparently because it has only been a couple of days and 2-3 cold starts.
I have used Fram filters a lot (buy at WalMart with oil purchase) and never experienced the problem before.
Maybe just a random check valve failure, but I have used my last Fram.
