Not saying it couldn’t be a combination of things, however there is a distinct metallic inconsistent tapping noise at idle that I haven’t posted here that I believe is related to the noise I have posted
PUP is the most readily available oil I can grab. Not sure what’s in it now. Whatever the dealer put in. My cold starts are mostly quiet it’s only when the oil starts to thin out and engine gets up to temp that the truck starts getting noises
Thank you Burla! I appreciate your input. This is very helpful. If I can get my hands on redline I’ll grab some. I’ll look up BITOG forums and see what’s there.
Would an Hp-107 work from K&N? That seems to be the most readily available filter that’s around me. I see it not mentioned all that...
This unfortunately is a warm start. I had shutoff the truck maybe an hour before this. I will definitely be using a better oil and filter than what’s on it on the next oil change. Redline is hard to get where I am so I will have to see what’s close.

Has anyone used the Hp-1017 Gold K&N filter? I’m curious if it’s tan with redline if the high moly content will not allow the oil to flow through it as it’s a 10micron filter. I’ve always used them on past vehicles and the oil has been beautiful every 5,000km.
It’s a very odd noise. If I can get a video uploaded obviously I could give everyone a better idea to what I’m referring to. When the noise starts the truck starts idling rougher. I thought it was intermittent but it seems to be consistent when the truck is fully warmed up and oil pressure is...
Is the 5.7 have that bad of an oiling system that it needs the ultimate wear protection of redline despite the rest of the drawbacks compared to other oils?
This is only one test however the test I viewed was that redline does not flow well in cold temperatures compared to something like PUP or...
