Some of the time, using Mobil-1 can quiet a noisy lifter on an OM60x engine. It can happen within a few hundred miles, or take thousands. If it doesn't go away within say 10kmi and a couple of M-1 oil changes, you have a bad lifter or two. They're a mild PITA to replace, and cost roughly $30 each. Although there are 12, usually only a few are bad. There's a procedure on how to test them in the OM602/603 engine manual.
BTW - if you use Mobil-1, get the 5W-40 'Truck & SUV' formula. :-) -dm > ------------------------------ > Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 17:45:01 -0700 > From: "JJJ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Click Click Click > > kaleb...for a noisy lifter, try mobil 1?? tell me what it does, please...i > have a bit of a noisy lifter in my '86sdl > > thanx
