I picked up some mobile 1 5-40 for half off at vatozone when I was trying to find delo cuz walmart, evidently is the only store that carries it, and it ticks the worse yet and loud.... with the delo it ticked for the first 300 mikes or so and then it stopped. But for some reason when I was working in kansas and they hit that negative temperature for a week or so, it ticked the entire time and went away after it warmed back up a week later... hopefully the mobile stops ticking after a couple hundred more miles.

I should add to this that the temps have been the same as they where 8j ks.





The oil conditioner is motorcraft XL-17.

Is it proven to work? Ive only read about it from a couple posts on here.

It was -3 this afternoon and I left the truck running while I ran in to the grocery store and parked about 50yds away from the door. When I came out of the store, I could hear the tick plain as day!! So im still lost.

Hmmmm, wonder how many guys actually pay attention to it like we do? Yesterday morning at -6° it sounded like a monkey messin with a tambourine and a snare drum.
