When you change the oil after 3-5K miles, it will be ugly, but that is what you want.  |
JFP,
Sometimes, I get a noisy lifter when the engine is warming up, do you think that switching (temporarily) to the Shell Rotella T6 somehow could help to clean the lifters?
My engine has a bit over 100k and other than the occasional lifter noise, it runs pretty smooth (Been changing the oil @ +/- 5k miles since new)
As always, thank you for our comments.
