Valvetrain noise after changing oil !!

[pewter02z]

After changing my oil, I noticed a lot more valvetrain noise. Is this normal with synthetic oil or do I have a problem.

[Liquifire]

Did you have the old oil in for an extended amount of time?

[pewter02z]

I don't think so, maybe 3200 or 3300 miles at most

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

Synthetics tend to actually clean the old slug out of the motor...so you might get a little more noise

[pewter02z]

Thanks, it runs perfect. It just ticks when I set a red light or just let it set at idle for like 3 or 4 minutes.

are you sure you put new oil in, cuz that would prolly cause some noice. j/k prolly nothing it less its really loud

[third_shift|studios]

what kidna tick? it's prolly piston slap-but i wanna make sure you don't ahve a busted lifter.

i've noticed the same thing.seems regular oils are better at hiding noise than synthetic's are.if i run reg pennzoil i hear nothing,if i run pennzoil platinum(the best oil ever made that turns you into an instant chick magnet)i hear the valve train constantly if i listen closely.i mix half regular half synthetic when i change oil,this seems to be a happy medium.a little noisy but sounds normal.its nothing worry about.

You know they sell this wonderful thing if you like that, called sythetic blend lol

really?you mean the blend thats twice the price it should be?thats 15% synthetic at best?that i can make for alot less?that i can control and know how much synthetic is mixed with the regular oil?you mean that one?

Man you are hard to convince, I bet you don't buy 50/50 premixed antifreeze either

[oneBADDz]

I don't curr who ye arrr, dats funny raght thurr

[YoMommasTA]

the mixed antifreeze i buy.the blend oils i don't because its more of a sales gimmick than a real product.most blends they do not list the % of each oil.plus like i said if you price it and do the math you make your own blend alot cheaper,plus control the % of each.I usually mix 25% synthetic to 75% regular.plus if you use pennzoil platinum(the best oil ever made that turns you into a instant chick magnet)you can save some gas money.i get really good mileage in all my cars + all the hot chicks dig me and give me gas money.

So instead of $9 a gallon antifreeze, you buy a $7 half gallon and half a gallon of water? OR is there some magic at work in premix that I don't know about, I was making a joke about the premix, lol

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

Man you are hard to convince, I bet you don't buy 50/50 premixed antifreeze either

ahahahhahha....anyone that buys that premix is a tard

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

the mixed antifreeze i buy..

ooops....

[YoMommasTA]

well till you buy 1 gal then go buy 1 gal steam distilled water,mix it up and fart around.its easier to buy the premixed.

[oneBADDz]

distilled walmart water is good enough for me at .75 a gallon, at the end of the day it's still just a machine, a big hunk of metal

[YoMommasTA]

unless you don't care what you put into your car and use plain tap water mixed with antifreeze<not wise

[oneBADDz]

I don't use tap water, but I don't go overkill either, but I understand that overkill is in the eye of the beholder
