The oil is the problem. Mobil 1 has gone down hill for some time, suffering from a litany of issues ranging from shear break down in as little as 2K miles, to loss of film strength, which is what is causing your chain tensioners to bleed down and make noise. Get rid of the Mobil 1 and your problems will go with it……………..
