Lifters are quite chatty at cold start, like marbles in a can. Liqui-Moly Anti-Friction has remedied this to about 50% of the chatter, as compared to without. I am curious if it is a dumb idea to add Liqui Moly hydraulic lifter additive in the same oil as I've put the anti-friction, or should I just wait to the next OCI? This V8 has a 9qt oil fill, so I'm not worried about diluting the oil, but mixing the chemistry of the two Liqui-Moly products. Thoughts?
