Hi all,
I read this forum quite a bit and learn a lot. However one thing I do not understand is the noises people experience by changing oil in their valvetrain I presume. Is changing the type of oil and "quieting" the noise actually helping the problem or masking one that is there? I have experienced these noises since 110k on my car now 210k only when temp is 0-30F and engine is not completely warmed up on a Civic. My valves are adjusted properly per schedule. Lastly are these noises really a problem or discomforting more for the intune owners? My Honda mechanic says my noise is normal for age. Oil has mostly been Valvoline and more recently Mobil dino and no change.
