lifter noise all of a sudden, why???
I have a 1995 Audi with the 2.8 V6 and 150k. I just had the oil changed a
few days ago, except now I get some lifter ticking noise for about 5 seconds after I start it. It's cold outside, maybe 10-20 degrees, and was before as well. I used the same Mobil 1 hi-mi synthetic that I had in it before, except this time it was 10-30 versus 10w-40 before. Any reasons why it would all of a sudden start ticking on start up after an oil change? |

Did you use a MANN filter or other good filter?
Why hi-mi oil? And was that 10W-40 also a hi-mi synthetic? BTW I run plain Mobil 1 synthetic 10W-30 in my '83 engine with 240K+ miles on it. Or maybe that engine does not like the 10W-30.

It was at a German specialty repair shop I dont know what brand of oil
filter they used. I love the hi-mi synthetic, I went from adding a quart of oil every 1000 miles to a quart every 5000. Mostly just leaks, the engine runs like a clock.

Any reasons why it > would all of a sudden start ticking on start up after an oil change? I've heard that on other cars when the oil filter doesn't have a backflow valve. I haven't changed the oil filter on my Audi myself yet (looks like a serious PITA) so I don't know how the backflow mechanism works on it. |

Then ask them about the ticking.
I have had a MANN filter that starting leaking at a seam within 15 minutes after installation (2nd start of vehicle). I did not like that, but I guess there can be problems with anything. Hmmmm maybe I will try that hi-mi synthetic one day! ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan" > > It was at a German specialty repair shop I dont know what brand of oil > filter they used.
