Is they any problem with a faint clicking for about 5 sec on start up after sitting for 12 hrs at 5 below?  Signatureb > Is they any problem with a faint clicking for about 5 sec on > start up after sitting for 12 hrs at 5 below? Not really a problem, but it's a good idea to run a synthetic oil or a good grade of 5-30 in that weather. it has a good synthetic 5w-30 in it now. I am using Ams/oil which I have used in all my cars since 1974. Boots wrote: > Is they any problem with a faint clicking for about 5 sec on > start up after sitting for 12 hrs at 5 below?

Then I wouldn't worry about it, though you do realize Amsoil is not API certified, right? At least last I knew. I always thought they were more about marketing than anything else. Wrong. They were the FIRST to make synthetic oil that was API certified. It is the best on the market Boots wrote: > it has a good synthetic 5w-30 in it now.

According to their website, some are and some are not. If you're happy with it and believe it's the best, that's all that matters. No, this is just the cam followers before they fill up with oil. Keep the oil changed since this does have variable cam timing and if that cokes up you have to remove the cams to fix it... > Is they any problem with a faint clicking for about 5 sec on > start up after sitting for 12 hrs at 5 below? > No, this is just the cam followers before they fill up with oil.

I think that happened in 2002 with the 3.5L engine. Matthew 01 Max SE |
