This engine has ran 5w20 its whole life and as specified on the cap, but at 80k miles its developed lifter tick, at 99,988 miles it has a very noticeable tick sound. I live in a warm climate aswell. I dont work on these honda engines but does anyone think putting in 5w30 or 5w40 will help this? I think the vvt will be interfered with different viscosities. Could it be a lack of lubrication?
Any thoughts? I run all my other cars great with 15w40 and no lifter tick has ever come up, is why.
