Then i go to check my oil and come to find that there is barely any oil in the engine. I just changed my oil last month and i don't dog my car out. I think this could have contributed to the noise but i was wonderin if anyone can tell me what this noise could be. I think my oil burns quicker than before because of my MAC LT's. Any help?
va01gtstang said:I used Castrol Syntec 5 quarts. But when i found out my oil was low i put in 4 quarts of regular Penzoil oil and i put the dipstick back in and the dipstick showed that the oil level was over max. there are 53000 miles on my engine. The Oil pressure guage is always in the same position and i was wonderin if it was worth it to buy an aftermarket oil press gauge?
When you did your oil change,,did you go from conventional right to 100% synthetic ????va01gtstang said:While I was driving last night i noticed a strange loud tapping noise whenever i accelerated between 1800-2700 RPM.

yep,,lifters,,,,va01gtstang said:no i went to syn blend then to full syn. Does anyone know what the tapping could be?
va01gtstang said:o ok thanks. but how long will it take for the tapping to go away? I put new oil in and it still taps.

The tapping should have went away pretty damn quickly after you filled it up with oil..Were you punching it when you were low on oil??

Also, isn't mixing synth and non-synth in the crank case a REAL BAD THING???
