Just so happens again today, minus didn't happen in the morning, it happened when leaving work at 7pm. I turned the car off, added a few quarts of oil. Turned the car on within a minute it disappeared? Has this happened to anyone else? I mean I've heard the injector tick, which the tick i heard weeks ago, and today sounds way louder. 98,600 miles 2008. Ive had the oil change, my next is at 102k. But the oil when i got the car, was changed almost instantly. When the old oil dried up it looked real thick, and disgusting, i was thinking maybe there still some left in the engine that hasn't worked its way out. If possible. My question is, is this a bad sign of things to come?
