So I did an oil change about 2,500 miles ago right before I head on out to the coast. I went with Mobil 1 10W-30 Full Synthetic (first time ever using full synthetic on a 125,000 mile engine block- bad idea?). After the 400 mile round trip I noticed I had a small lifter (or so I think) tick when I returned home.
Well my 2,500 miles was up on my oil change so I just dumped in 5Q of Castrol GTX with a Mobil 1 Oil Filter. I was told if I had switched back to Conventional the tick would most likely go away....well it didn't.
I have heard several methods of getting rid of a tick. I was wondering what some of your guys' favorites were?
Any/all advice and input would be greatly appreciated
