i spend over 1200.00 on oil changes every month on all my vehicles it is the cheapest thing to maintain .
Damn.
Besides...I don't think my noisy lifters are due to the oil. They were noisy the day before and the day after the oil was changed.

stiggs, its the charcoal filter trust me, that ticking noise I had it ( its like a ticking noise and more obvious when you are idle) The dealership guy brought out the mechanic and he lifted up the hood did somthing and told me to litsen and the ticking noise went. Apparently its becasue the charcoal filter needs to be changed, no rush for that he just said it can be changed the next time.
Hope that helps

3000 mile oil change with synthetic is over kill. You shouldnt go over 5k for a change. Because your car uses at least 8.5qrts. My c36 uses 7.9qts and after 4k miles the oil is not dirty.

OK, so far I have two other options if the Techron fails:
- Purge Valve
- Charcoal filter
I'm basically just gonna go down the list until it's fixed.
Thanks for the help guys.
