Default loud ticking !!
You know the sound you typically get when you need to change your oil / low on oil. Pretty sure its the lifters hitting in the block without lubrication from the oil. Well I check my oil about once every other day and my engine is ticking like crazy, but i have exactly as much oil in as i need. My car doesn't leak oil, doesn't appear to be buring oil. Any ideas what this could be or how to fix it?
