fearkobe05 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hello i have a pathfinder making a ticking noise (lifters). Will motor flush help? Oil changes are done regularly. Thanks Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 what oil weight are you using? I recommend using a heavier weight than what most oil change shops use. 10w30 at least, made a big difference in both my R50 and Xterra.

(vg33 engines) Seconded on the 10w30, his is a 2000 so its a VG. We do it all the time on older trucks in the shop. The later VQs were a bit more complicated, dual cam and VVT, I always use 5W30 in mine, but an older motor like that can get some use out of heavier oil.

adamzan Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Try a 5w40 or 5w50. But if it just started ticking out of the blue, you have other issues that you need to investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk Where is the ticking noise coming from? Every so often i get a bad and consistent tick coming from my driver side under the vehicle. I’m thinking oil pump. Very curious if you’re experiencing the same? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
