Man this blows now I'm going to be out time and money to change and possibly flush this good oil out.... to answer the question as to why I decide to add the LC to my oil, for one I've been getting a little bit of a knock on cold start (also why I've been playing with different brands of...

So I just did an oil change on my car. I went ahead and went out of my way to get Subaru oil and filter and decided to use LC20 for the first time after hearing so much about it on this form and others. So long story short when I was adding the Lc20 to my car I noticed there were particulates...

Originally Posted By: andrewp1998 I have a loud seems like lifter tick at startup for 10 secs to as much as 2 mins when cold. Will this help?. My mech thinks its just gummed up cause there is alot of carbon on top of the pistons. I have a 1999 Impreza OutbackSport with under 70K and I was...

I took it out for a drive and it still seems to drive just fine but it also still had a good amount of noise when I got back. Think I am going to go ahead and add an oil thickener and then just watch it to see what it does.

Originally Posted By: Recalculating Is this the first or second time this vehicle has used a synthetic oil change? Nope, I always use synthetic. I went from SynPower to PPU for 4 changes to the new Pennzoil Ultra Platinum for the last change and now back to SynPower for this one. Always 5w20.

Originally Posted By: jacky my car has severe leaks and many times i have drove it with no oil on the dipstck (without knowing it was low) and it still runs fine this has happened 3 or more times you must check it at least every 2 weeks if you care about your vehicle always carry an extra quart...

Originally Posted By: addyguy I don't think you have done any serious damage. The tick may have started from the engine being low on oil and the SOHC valvetrain not getting as much oil as it should. After you did the oil change, how did the engine sound - did the tick go away? If so, I wouldn't...

Originally Posted By: Leo99 Good thing you heard the tick and decided to do something about it. Do you think you have an oil leak or are burning oil? Focus on fixing the problem that causes your oil to disappear. Depending on a leak or burning, there will be different things to try and help...

SO I have an SUV with a 4.6 and almost 130K on it. I was running a 820S and the new Pennzoil Platinum pure plus and went around 7K when I noticed a tick (sounds like lifters). Now This truck has always had a kind of knock on start up and a little lifter tick type sound but it seemed to be...

Resurrection! 10 days until a bigger displacement/longer stroke 5.2 liter flat plane V8 made by an american car company?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_MOx47H9TY

Well after pouring one of the quarts I had in I cut the top off to use as a funnel and this is what I found after I was done and looked in the bottom half. All the jugs (even the new 5gal one) seem to have this to some extent. I have never noticed a thick sludge in any other oil and this is...

Well I got the new PU and I am about to go put it in. hope it's is good as the last gen. The walmart I went to did have some of the old PU 5gal jugs but they only had 10w30 and 5w30 and while i have done a mix with the 5w30 before I just went ahead and got the new stuff in the appropriate weight.
