My 2015 Dodge Caravan has developed the dreaded lifter tick. I am at around 86k miles and it can be heard during a hot idle.
I’ve used various 5w30 oils, ranging from dino to synthetic right from about 600 miles when I dumped the factory fill.
When it comes to part defects, oil type and viscosity will likely not make a difference
Here is a short vid of how it sounds like. Turn up the volume as it is not loud yet. I’m hoping I caught it early enough that there is no significant cam damage.
