2013 1500 5.7 started ticking around 150k miles and popped 7th cyl misfire code. Trying to avoid the $5k+ lifter job I tried using 5W30 redline oil and 10-48 RP filters based on advice from one of the threads on here (no idea where I found it, I just googled sorry!). Most people seemed to see the tick disappear between 0-500 miles, but at 500 miles mine was still loud as hell. I was about to give up and just take it into the shop then around 650 miles it stopped! So I have a couple questions for y’all. 1- temps were nice (50 degrees+) when it stopped, but temps have been below freezing recently, so could that make a difference? I’ve seen some using 0W30. 2- anyone have long term success with this or is it more of a bandaid for an inevitable lifter job?
