Lifter noise
have had lifter noise since new, 96 4L, worse on cold startup but noticible most of the time, especially at idle.
finally found the solution
Mobil 1 5w30
5 oz of Valvoline Oil Treatment with moly and other antiwear adds.
5 oz of LC20 in oil.

quiet as a purring kitten now. runs far better. smoother and more top end power.

many of the Fram filters are built with only fiber glue on end caps and cheap thin filter media, glue and media break down, fibers built up in oil passages and hydralic lifters.

well thats good to know but are they all bad or just certain ones?
and how would you know for sure that the break down was actually from
the fram filter or a previous filter?
i would think fram would have lottsa lawsuits on their hands.

I think that Tommy boy said it best, "I can S* in a box and slap a warranty on it, but it is still a box of S*."
