Motorcraft Oil Filter FL2005. Currently using Mobil1 Synthetic 5W30. Was told that this oil is most problematic oil it's been the subject of numerous noise complaints.
The issue: getting that tack tick tack tick noise quite a bit.
I want to use Motorcraft Semi Synthetic 5W30 oil with STP Blue added.
Although, now I was told that my engine has bucket tappets (solid lifters) and they are adjusted with shims.
Can this be done on my car and whom should I have do this? Is it expensive?
Is there any illustration online showing this process?
Thanks
