[QUOTE="excat, post: 2511066, member: 29449"] My guess would be lifters without hearing it. Once the oil warms up it just gets a little quieter, but it's still there more than likely. 5k miles is a stretch for dino oil. The conditioners in that oil don't last that long typically. Synthetics can push the 5-6k area. I'd go to 3,500-4,000 mile changes depending on weather. Its generally not a good idea to change oil's once you've been using it a while. Different conditioners and such have been know to cause catastrophic failures. If whatever brand you generally use makes synthetic, I would keep to the same brand and switch. Change oil a little more frequently, and rock on. [/QUOTE]
