miles on my 89 Pathfinder and lo and behold I heard something I never heard before on this motor when the truck was running. For about 5-10 seconds I heard the distinctive chatter of ticking valves.
It went away and came back for a second then stopped. The truck was warmed up, so I couldn't blame it on that. It looks like the venerable VG30i is starting to show it's age. It still doesn't leak or consume any oil to speak of.
I will add that I'm 800 miles into a A-rx treatment. I had done a high mileage treatment last year, but since the directions have changed I decided to do a treatment by the book. I'm running Castrol 10W-30 high mileage right now with a Wix filter. I'll do the the 1500-2000 mile clean cycle and then change oil and filter as specified for rinse.
