Hydrolic lifters stick, very loud and noticable engine noise. They have stuck since shortly after purchase of vehicle. They unstick immediately after synthetic oil change, but only for a brief period of time. Dealership(s) used this window of time to thier advantage to avoid repairing vehicle under warranty, sending consumer away to see if it works. Manaufacturer recommends synthetic oil to correct. Does not work. Several incidents. Countless failures. Will pay out of pocket for new lifters, approximately $1,800.
