cam phaser fix?

ive read that some people have used 15w40 oil in 5.4 and the phaser tick went away. im not ready to put 15w40 in my motor but would any lucas oil style repairs be a good idea for my phasers. can anyone tell me what changes from phasers that work right and worn out. what wears out in them?

I don't think I've heard a 5.4 3v that didn't have some cam phaser tick (to some degree)?? Maybe it's a matter of determining what is normal and what is excessive?
