Hi all,
Had lifter tick for over an astounding 10k miles on a currently 140k miles ‘09 1500 5.7. Had truck for a year, no issues runs great. In FL, FL truck whole life.
Dealer either used PP full syn. 5w20 or regular PYB full syn. 5w20 not sure, truck purred like a kitten until around 1500-2000 miles after OCI when it would tick again.
On second OCI used 6 quarts dealer PP or PYB 5w20 with 1 quart Lucas Oil High Mileage stabilizer, no difference in tick.
Third OCI was today, tried 5 quarts PPHM 5w30 + 1 quart PP 5w20 + 15oz Lubegard Biotech, around 6.5 quarts in the engine. Roughly 5w26ish now if you do the math.
Will update on how it performs over time, so far tick is louder right after change? We’ll see.
Please comment and ask questions.
