How can you say a new oil has a tick on initial start-up after oil change when it's in the pan & hopefully filter?It would appear that Amsoil XL might be better than SS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjboMOK43OY&t=1786s
I was thinking about using PUP 0W40 on my 5.7. But seeing that it gives it a slight tick on startup, nope, that is not for me. Its one of the reasons I'm trying to avoid Mobil1 0W40; even though the tick is just on initial start after an oil change and it makes the engine idle so smooth, dare I say it, arguably may be quieter than Redline.
Am I missing something here?
Or are you priming before starting?
Maybe same oil prior to last change.
