    New to Real Winters; One Badly Ticking Lifter on Jeep 4.0L Startup/Don’t Drive Enough For 2x/Year OCI

    OPDA? I don’t know if you saw my updates, but three of the last four mornings, it has NOT made the tick on cold start, and it never makes the tick on restarts throughout the day (even after several hours of sitting at temps not much above freezing). It only does it (and only occasionally now)...

    Ok, I see. So there’s nothing in Rislone that will damage anything if left in longer, it’s just the nature of breaking up deposits and clogging filters (or worse) that brings in some amount of risk when using the product. I do really appreciate the advice. Short of religiously using Prolong in...

    Well, I guess I spoke too soon. The lifter tick was back again this morning. The difference between this morning’s cold start and the last two “quiet” days is that I only drove about 40 miles total yesterday, and the previous two days were both well over 100. I really don’t have time to tear...

    Yeah, I think I’m sold. And I just got done running through a tank of the Gumoit AIO fuel treatment, which is supposed to be one of the most pure PEA treatments according to this site, if I did my homework right. Next up is a full tune up and transmission service. The only reason I’ve...

    Ok, so, you’ll have to forgive me for not replying one by one, but I’ve read every reply, and I really appreciate all of the info/suggestions. Before I go too far, I should state that when I went out this morning to start the Jeep up (at 17°F), to my amazement it fired right up and didn’t tick...
