Consumer Description
I'VE HAD MY CAR MAINTENANCE DONE REGULARLY. IT ONLY HAS 72K MILES ON IT. I'VE ONLY USED SYNTHETIC OIL. MY CAR STARTED MAKING A TICKING SOUND. AND HAS STALLED OUT ON MY 1 TIME. I TOOK IT FOR ITS ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. (NOTICED THE OIL WAS DIRTY, VERY DIRTY AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THAT BAD) AFTER THE OIL WAS CHANGED, THE TICKING KEPT GETTING LOUDER. BROUGHT IT TO A SHOP. HE TOLD ME DEF INTERNAL. COULD BE A CAM, A CRANK OR SOMETHING ELSE. JUST FOUND OUT TOO THAT WITH OIL CHANGES, DO NOT USE EITH FRAM OR AFTERMARKET FILTERS. I'VE ONLY EVER HAD PLACES USE THE FRAM FILTERS. THERE IS A BLACK FILTER THAT SHOULD BE USED BECAUSE THE OTHERS JUST BLOW OUT FROM THE OIL PRESSURE. THAT WOULD'VE BEEN GOOD TO KNOW.
