Hey everyone, I’ve got a bit of a problem with my car. It’s started making this annoying ticking noise, and I’ve heard it might be the lifters. I’ve tried switching to a thicker oil, but it didn’t really help. I used to use that cheap stuff from the gas station, but I figure it’s time to try something a bit better. Has anyone had any luck with oil additives for noisy lifters?
Hallo comrades,oil additives can be useful, but they’re not a cure-all. If you’re dealing with persistent noisy lifters, it’s crucial to diagnose the underlying issue and address it appropriately.
Hello there, no additive can restore the metal to damaged sections. If you wish to improve the loudness, you can use something like STP oil treatment to thicken it, however, the engine is broken and an additive will not solve it.
It appears that you may have some lifter noise to deal with. Sometimes oil additives can be helpful, but how well they work depends on the particular problem and the kind of addition that is employed. Here are some suggestions and choices for you to think about:
-
High-quality Oil: Since you’ve previously experimented with heavier oil, be sure the type you’re using fits the requirements of your car. Occasionally, using a premium conventional oil or a complete synthetic oil can help.
-
Oil Additives: Lifter noise can be decreased with the use of certain oil additives. By increasing oil viscosity and lowering noise, products like Lucas Oil Stabiliser and STP Oil Treatment can be helpful. Verify that the addition is appropriate for the type of oil and engine you have.
