See sig.

I believe it was the 99 South to I-5 North ramp in Sacramento for me. Started knocking bad bad bad within a mile or two after that. Car was donated.

Circumstances:

Was I going fast? For an on ramp.....Yes.
(I like to be going the speed of traffic when I merge.)

Was I close to red line? Yes.
(2nd and 3rd gears were fun.)

How long had the car been running? About 30mins. Normal temp.

Was the oil full? Yes, at the top line of full like always.

Was the oil new? Yes, had changed it a couple of weeks before.

What oil were you using? Pennzoil 10w-30.
(Don't need an oil lecture. I've switched to Mobile 1 on my cars, and I prolly should have been using 5w-30, but I usually switch to a heavier weight when engines get into higher miles. Ask 10 people, you'll get 10 different answers.)

What oil filter where you using? Fram Tough or Double Gaurd. Don't remember....
(Don't need a Fram lecture. Try not to use them anymore either.)

Am I hard on cars? Yes. Very.
