zoieface Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 I decided to read up more. I see that the solution to ticking is different for different people. I going the easiest route first. I'm gonna either do seafoam or mmo today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoieface Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Alright! I took out quart oil and added trany fluid. Ran it for 10 mins....no more tickin! Yes!! Now its time to change oil. Any sugestions for oil? Anything that works best for my car? 100k miles. So high milage and a quart of lucas? I heard from other forums even using mmo as well?

zoieface Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yeah. I might have avoided that for now ivan. But should anyway down road:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 just use regular old dino oil. you dont need any special crap, and 100k is not high mileage for your engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoieface Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Not really man. Surprised when I got her and seen milage. Dino oil would be good as a daily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseman Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 shoot dude only a 100,000 miles , no wonder the tranny fluid worked. I'm at 233,000 and fairly sure I need to do that seal. Also yeah a nice dino oil will do you fine not that synthetic would hurt it or anything. It's all about having a good maintenance routine on fluids.
