Switched to Mobile on the last oil change and its not good for lifter tick at all.... sounds like the car rusn with no oil when its cold and takes along time to warm up and stop the ticking.

I used to use Castrol Syntec and that was much better. I am going back to it next oil change. Unless there are some better synthetics that I could use that dont cause to much tick.

Never tried amsoil... Its much more money than the even mobil.

the problem with amsoil, or even mobile 1 in some cases, is people start using it on a car with 150k (that's never seen synthetic) on it and think it's going to make the car faster or something. what happens.....the detergents in the oil clean out the engine deposits that are actually helping to seal everything up.
