Those are great cars!
Driving uphill and the ticking sound came back? Are you sure its a ticking sound and not a knocking sound or maybe an exhaust leak? Those 5.0 307 v8 Oldsmobile engines are very very good engines, they don't have loads of power or a lot of horsepower but they run forever..
The previous owner loved the car so much but he passed away that's why the car was sold. It is certainly 66k miles. However, he wasn't DIYer either, so I saw a lot of invoices from local lube shops.
My speculation is that since the car was sitting for long period of time giving that it's 30 year-old car, I assumed the previous owner was doing long OCI (~10k miles).
My plan is going to be doing short OCI (2-3k miles) using whatever on sale (e.g., PYB, Maxlife, or T5) add seafoam or MMO (I am not sure from where I can get that in Canada) in the last 300 miles, then change the oil. Any supporter to this idea?
