    Ticking is normal, running 0W20 all forms is synthetic so anything above and beyond a normal off the shelf oil is a waste of money.

    I stopped using M1 15 years ago after it sounded like shit in my WRX. Increased the warm up piston slap significantly. Seemed like more spun bearings on modded cars with he M1 as well. Castrol an PP ever since then. I do not hold M1 in high regards.

    I’ve run Pennzoil Ultra Plat 0W20 and changed to Red Line. Driving even less than 5k miles a year I’ll leave it in for 2-3 years.

    Engines make all kinds of noise with almost all oils, imho

    When you first change the oil of any car it’ll always sound quieter for the first 1500 miles

    Get the cheapest oil that you can find in the proper viscosity.

    Never said it was cheap. Once a year doesn’t break the bank. Besides, it’s cheaper by volume than my wife’s Starbucks drinks...:ballchain:

    If you get the "preferred membership" for about $15/yr, you can buy Amsoil direct for about $9.00 a quart. Free shipping over $100 so I always buy for 2 vehicles and get filters too. As for viscosity, there are a lot of opinions on that but I am going to 5-30 as that worked very well in quieting down my JK.
