Are you saying the oil change took place 1-2 years ago and used 5W-40 and only recently the engine is making the noise?

Good Evening,
Did you ever get your problem fixed/diagnosed? Your engine sounds eerily familiar (mine not all the time. No rhyme or reason for when it decides to do it)

Thanks
Thom

Yes, the shop put the wrong oil, had to put mobil1 and z max to get it unstuck. Major close call.

So wait...I'm confused, but very happy it's fixed.


First you said they put in 5W40, then 0W40, isn't that right?

So are you saying they STILL put the wrong oil in the second time and now after a THIRD time everything is good??

Z max? What is that.
