Changed the oil today w/ Mobil1 5w-30. Put about 4 miles on her afterward and came back to the garage. I still have a tick but it's not as loud as before. FWIW I just changed from regular oil to synthetic at 2100 miles, which is today. When I first got the car I changed the oil at 500 miles w/5w-20 and again at about 1500 miles. Hope for the best I guess.:shrug:
