Engine Ticking Like It Needs Oil! But It Doest!
I have changed my oil at regular intervals since i had the car with Synthetic... But for the last few weeks my engine has been ticking very loudly and seems to be getting louder. It ticks at the speed the engine is going. Someone suggested that it may have lost compression??? Has anyone else had this problem and if so how much did Nissan charge?? Someone also suggested a tuneup but i dont see how a routine tuneup would take care of this problem.

I put in some oil cleaner about a 3 weeks ago during oild change and since then it has gotten louder.. So not sure if thats going to help. Maybe I will try and change again and add something.. What do you recommend??

i would say its probably a valve train issue. i need some more information to work with though, is your oil pressure normal? what are the specs after the engine is warmed up and what weight of oil are you using? synthetic? is the ticking audible within the passenger compartment, and if so, at what rpms?
