engine vibration and oil that makes noise hmmmmm...

[MadMike6786]

2 things:

1) when ever im 1000 miles from changing my oil the engine when im accelerating makes a weird noise. it has something to do with my oil. i use quaker state 4x4 synthetic blend and after the oil change the noise goes away for a while. its kind of embarising when i have the rumble of an exhaust with the noise of something else (prolly the girls laughing) when i ride by anyone. should i switch to a full synthetic? or is there something else i can do?

2) when my engine is ildeing and when im stopped at red lights and stuff i have ANOTHER NOISE! cept this one is a vibration and i cant figure out what it is its sounds liek a piece of metal vibrateing. anyone know anything?


i feel im the only one with these noises anyones help will b great

about the rumble before an oil change not sure, I just switched to synthetic myself so i can't really tell you yes or no if it is good.
As for the noise when your stopped have you tried getting out to see where the noise is coming from? If i had to guess without any other info i would say maybe your heat shield?

At what intervals do you change your oil?? It could be the timing chains making noise if you go too far. The other noise sounds like you may have a loose exhaust system heatshield.

i change my oil every 3000 and sometimes 100 - 200 be4 if i get bored. it seems to be about 200 miles into after i changed the oil. i had my exhuast replaced so i dont have a heat shield anymore. i started a weight reduction lol
