Great video !! After my honda Element reach 298k i had valve liftters noise .. after doing this , i tell you i see and hear the difference. Thank you !! Great video .. just reminder i did the same methods three times after three thousand miles..thx
while products like Lucas Oil Stabilizer can offer temporary relief for certain symptoms like noisy lifters, they are not a panacea and should be used cautiously, considering the potential downsides of altering the carefully balanced formulation of modern motor oils. it might be better to just buy a higher quality oil or increase the viscosity ie 5w-30 to 10w-30 if you're in a warmer climate.
When you add an oil stabilizer, it can dilute the concentration of critical additives in the original oil formulation, such as detergents, anti-wear agents like zinc or ZDDP (Zinc Dialkyl Dithiophosphate), and dispersants. ZDDP is particularly crucial for protecting engine components such as camshafts, lifters, and other valvetrain components in high-pressure environments.
I really liked your video. Easy and straight to the point.
One small question:: does it make a real difference if I add conventional/ synthetic motor oil?
No, I prefer synthetic since it doesn’t break down as quick.
I’m late to this video , but in my case I ran the oil too low , but some people quickly blame the brand the manufacturer with out knowing
Question nothing was ticking i changed my oil now it sounds like a lifter tick what exactly would be the problem
Is your oil level to the max?
@@PhillipsVision damn near
Did you add baking soda?
Whats the ratio if my 2016 ram promaster 1500 capacity is 6 qts of oil
I added every additive at Autozone at the same time.. it’s still tapping.
Probably need to have a mechanic look at it
"Shouldn't the low end of the viscosity of the engines oil" deturmin a difrent amount of stabilizer to sdd for 5, 10 or 20 wieght oil.
great video, however i'm afraid you actually need some work done......good band aid though.
It did hold the noise down, but the engine in the video was on its way out. Was replaced a few months later due to other issues.
Sometimes the issue with lifter noise is that dirt is binding up a hydraulic lifter. This happens when people neglect oil changes and carbon Sludge gets into the lifter. Hydraulic lifters work like Squirt gun shooting oil through the center of the pushrod to lubricate the rocker arm while cushioning reaction on the movement of the cam. There is a great video done by (project farm) where he puts sea foam into the engine oil of a old Ford ranger with a very loud lifters. After a few minutes it’s noticeably quieter. This is because the Sea foam is it detergent. He added 1 ounce of seafoam for every quart of oil. Also another way to quiet lifters is to replace 1 quart of engine oil with transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is essentially oil with lots of detergent. What you are doing is adding thicker oil to your engine which will help with oil pressure but can have the effect of causing more sludge. I would do things differently. I would change your oil and use sea foam or transmission fluid and drive the car with the noisy lifters for 100 or 200 miles. Then change the oil again using products that you demonstrated. By cleaning out the crank case and all the components first you mitigate the possibility of sludging up your engine. You never want to add these products that are thicker than the recommended oil if your engine has variable valve timing. There are small passages that use oil pressure to control the valve timing. If you gum up with these passages you’ll screw things up really bad.
I have a 2012 town and country, I just took my van for oil change at Walmart and now it is ticking always and when I hit the gas even faster ticking. I now have oil all over the bottom of my motor. I have never had issues with this van and the only time I decided to just save time and do food shopping and get the oil changed my van gets all messed up and lied on my receipt of my tire pressure and said they couldn't fill washer fluid because the holder was broken. It isn't broken and I filled it as soon as I got home. Can I use sea foam in my van
Also I found Walmart sucks the oil out the top and now threw the bottom and that makes all the dirt stay in the bottom of the oil pan . It says they used 5/30 high mileage oil in my van
@@dreamtoreality9892 It would be worth a try. Put 1 ounce of seafoam for every quart of oil that your engine uses. Probably about 5 ounces of sea foam in the engine oil. If it works it’s a cheap fix. Otherwise you might just have a collapsed lifter that will need to be replaced. Hopefully this can be done without removing the heads. Most engines the lifters can be replaced by removing the intake manifold to access them. It’s a labor intensive job.
Sometimes the ticking and sucking of air or pushing in most cases comes from exhaust manifold
Anyone know what the european equivalent to this would be? Lots of Liqui Moly over here. Do they have a seafoam like product? Seriously I could just put in some dexron III? I've got a half bottle left after changing my steering fluid.
Many modern engines have a low pressure/high volume oil pump. By putting high viscosity oil treatments in your engine oil, you risk burning up your oil pump and permanently damaging your engine. Whenever there is lifter noise, it's rarely an issue with your oil...it's due to lifter seal failure, poor adjustment, weakened springs etc. ~ I'd rather fix the root of the problem than risk ruining the rest of my engine.
05 Suburban I bought in 2012 for $9,995 with 98k on the clock. I'm at 283k now and I just tried this treatment... worked!
So, my reasoning is, I've gotten great use out of this engine... if it needs replaced or rebuilt because of this, I'll eat the cost.
It's been trouble free, except for lifter rattle.
@@Brian-mp2mvit's really not that hard to address the lifter problem yo honestly save yourself time and money if you just address the lifter problem rather than having to constantly add all these additives to your engine especially since nowadays vehicles are so expensive especially used vehicles that 160,000 miles on an engine is considered low mileage nowadays which is insane so you may want to keep that 243,000 mile engine going for as long as you can. For what you spend an additives over the course of a year is what you'd spend on just fixing the problem especially if you drive a lot whether it be for work or whatever where you're putting on 20,000 Mi miles a year, because at that rate you're doing a lot of oil changes within a year
@@polosavage1 Honestly, if you're going out and spending 80k on a car 160k miles better be low mileage, right?
Your comment answered my question,before I even ask it . I run a full synthetic oil in my hemi, I parked it because I was going to Alaska for a few months . The oil level is full I have zero leaks
"The root of lifter noise problem", correct; is rarely and issue with oil ; yet it is always and issue with "friction".
The friction may be from trash/ debris, carbon build up, oil sludge or anything inhibiting/ restricting the free up and down mechanical movement of proper lifter operation. Sometime, a good engine flush and /or oil change will fix or help. Other times it will not. It all depends what issue is actually restricting the free movement if the lifter/s.
I used marvel mystery oil on my 94 Silverado quieted right down
What is the mileage of the vehicle you are working on Phillip ???😀😀😀😀
@@victoryfirst2878At the time of this video about 180k
@@PhillipsVision This is sharp fella.
This did work for me. Given me time to get my motor repaired.
Thanks for the feedback
that lil tick got my honda soundin like a damn diesel😭
This actually does work I had a Toyota Camry 99 and I bought it at 170k it had a knock and would add the Lucas when doing a oil change and the ticking stopped the guy I sold the car to 8 yrs later still has the same car 420k miles.
Did you use 1 or all of the additives?
Those Toyota Camrys from 99 will run on cooking oil such a great car
My old Ford Fairmont station wagon with the hydraulic lifters got to the point where we’d get a sticky lifter usually about oil change time. I used good oil and knew that was not the issue and neither was the oil level. An old Ford mechanic told me to dump a quart of Ford ATF in the engine and run it for a few miles before the oil change, and it would act as a detergent and clean out the lifters. It truly worked as he said. So keep that in mind.
That is true
my au has the same little tick noise, how do you reckon i should go about fixing it? :D
@@chanuda4824 try liquid Molly
@@marcocaravantes422 i drained it and refilled with 5w40, thing is quiet and only light ticks at about quarter throttle at 1.5k rpm
@@marcocaravantes422 doing some reading up on Molly and think I'm going to use it . I never heard about this oil before.
I just did it today on my 2012 equinox 2.4 F.F and it works great….thank you so much my wife was freaking out
Omg! We have a Chevy Tahoe and have been having the same noise for about 2 weeks now.. we got sooo much wrong advice. Everyone that heard it gave the wrong issue, we heard every and all diagnosis you can think of. Tried this and voila! The noise was so annoying and embarrassing around people. Idk how my husband stumbled across this video but I thank God for you. You are a life saver! 👌🏾 How much do we owe you?? 😊
Awesome to hear it work. 👍
Was your Tahoe between 2015-2020 model by chance?
My 2009 Tahoe is doing the same.
This won't work on a 6.1 hemi...
@greggogola2130 Sorry so late, but it's a 2012
Hello I just had my oil changed can I add the product Lucus to my car still ?
@@DonnaCarr-dy9kl yes, but you’ll need to drain one quart to make room for this additive. You don’t want to overfill your oil
Several years ago, my 2002 Chevy truck had a loud lifter ticking noise. I checked the oil and it was a quart low. I added a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to the crankcase, and soon the lifter ticking noise disappeared, but not nearly as fast as the Kia in this video. I drove the truck about 400 miles and when I changed the oil, it was extremely dirty, telling me that the MMO had removed some or all of the sludge out of the engine.
Now after a oil change and it is a quart low on oil, I add a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to the crankcase for preventative maintenance.
I have also been using Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas of my truck, car, and lawn mower at every fill up since 2016. I use the recommended amount of 4 ounces of MMO for every 10 gallons of gas. Both vehicles and the lawn mower are running better than ever, and my car gets at least an extra 1.5 to 2 more miles per gallon on the highway. With Walmart selling the quart size (32oz) bottle of MMO for $5.97 here in the USA, it more than pays for itself with the savings in using less gas.
Thanks for the comment
You added the marvel mystery oil to the engine?
@ tisbitae7-- To quiet the lifter ticking noise, I added Marvel Mystery Oil to the oil in the engine. You can add MMO up to 20% of your engine oil capacity. For example, if your engine takes 5 quarts of oil, you can replace one quart of oil for one quart of MMO.
You don't want to over fill your engine with the combination of MMO and oil.

2005 Suburban 5.3L with 283k on the clock... Lifters rattling the last 6-8 months.
Tried the Lucas Treatment tonight, except when it was a quart low, I added a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to bring it back up to full... ran it a couple days, intermittently.
Lifters REALLY rattled then!
5.3L in the Suburban holds 6 quarts oil.
I added:
1 quart Lucas Oil Stop Leak
3 quarts Lucas Oil Stabilizer
2 quarts Castrol 5w20 High Mileage Oil
Lifters rattled a good 10 minutes after initial startup... pulled it off the rack, let it idle while I cleaned up my mess, and went for test drive.
*Could not make the thing rattle!*
Was thinking reducing the stabilizer to 2 quarts and increasing the oil 1 quart at next oil change... maybe, maybe not... the stabilizer is within a dolar of the price of oil.
@@Brian-mp2mvdid it blow up yet
One hell of a trick… it sure worked me just now. Thanks my guy.
Thank u kindly for all these videos God bless I'm single mom with health iuess
I do not have an oil leak should i still use stop leak thank you soo much for this detailed video
@@dustinwarren3125 no, just use an oil stabilizer
Question
If my car needs 7 quarts of oil how many of this items do I need to put in.
3.5 to 4 quarts would be around 60%
Do this then sell the car
You are a cro'ok if you hide the problem from the buyer.
Why? I have an 04 Jaguar I would rather not get rid of. Lifter only ticks when cold, I'm just gonna get all of mine replaced.
Ha ha
Good man
My brother bought a odyssey and dealer made lifter noise quiet and now they are loud again after 6 months
My neighbor told me to put a quart of mystery oil along with my other 4 quarts of oil during oil change on my dodge journey. Have anyone heard of using this method before?
I have. I’ve never tried Mystery Oil
@ jessiegathe661-- Several years ago, my 2002 Chevy truck had a loud lifter ticking noise. The oil was a quart low, so I added a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to the crankcase.

Depending on how many miles that you have on your Dodge Journey, you may have some sludge in the engine. If you add some MMO to your Dodge, I would check the oil more often, and if it appears very dirty, I would change it sooner than later.
I have also been using Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas in my car, truck, and lawn mower at every fill up since 2016. I use the recommended amount of 4 ounces of MMO for every 10 gallons of gas. Everything is running better than ever, and my car now gets at least 1 to 2 more miles per gallon on the highway.
excellent! ill try my other vehicle- and include the stop leak............. i did have good success w 2 qts of the stabilizer.
Justin observation I really wouldn't use Lucas too much in the Northeast when you have really cold weather that Lucas turns into. Tar. I noticed this when I cut the oil pan off my blown motor. Not saying Lucas is bad but I would say it's primary application would be down south where it's 90 to 100°. All the time. Seriously
Would you recommend this with a 5.7 HEMI?
I don’t see why not, it could work as long as it’s not severe damage
can you just add this to your oil because I just had mine changed
You can, but you’ll need to drain the amount your are adding so you don’t overfill
Thank you for the before and after at the end of the video. That really helps hear the difference!
I was a big believer of Lucas product, but it fail me. After doing the oil change and 200 miles later, 💥 rod bearing got cooked 57,000 and I use it since the car was new.
I have this same sound right now, it was a trainwreck the van had low oil and low antifreeze, it’s already quieter now but sounds just like this so I’m going to change the oil one last time like this and give an update! Fingers crossed!
Same here hope we both be Successful 🤞🏼🙏🏽🤞🏼
How’d it work out for you man? Curious about that update… I have a vehicle with similar issues you speak of.
I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler with a 3.6L engine and although I completely understand this process to quiet the lifters, how would I know if I should replace the lifters rather than simply quiet them? My understanding replacing the lifters is quite pricey. 🤦♀️
how do you know that the oil additive is just not "masking" the real issue just acting like a band aid?
For me its only sometimes on cold starts the first 10s
That’s normal
Lucas is basically gear oil. You don’t want to replace 40-60% of your 20 or 30 weight engine oil with something heavy enough to be differential oil. MMO would at least lube it and keeping oil moving easily through your engine and pump. That much too heavy oil is gonna quiet the whole thing soon. Amazing how quiet a seized engine is
A seized engine wouldn't move or not start. 😅😂
So out of my 5.2 quart engine, I'm only putting in 40% motor oil and 60% of these additives? That scares me a little. If my oil is 5W20, wouldn't this stuff be too thick in winter?
Did u do it? And what was the results ?
Appreciate you and other mechanics who share your knowledge, thank you for the post
Nice video, what if you have already gotten a oil change. When can you add these and how much to add in a 2011 Chevy traverse?
Blue devil stop smoke lol I have a Mitsubishi spider that always tick like crazy and smoked I needed to pass emissions so I used blue devil and it stopped the smoking but I didn’t expect it to stop the ticking 5 years later and passed emissions twice since using blue devil and still no ticking and perfect cylinder pressure . Only need to use it once so no need adding more at oil changes
took this advice on my 2015 F150 back in March . took about a month to work but since April the noisy lifter has been quiet
Next time: how to quiet noisy lifters in the Gym please!
02 Chevy Malibu, just got done with a head gasket job, and while screwing the #1 cylinder exhaust valve rocker back down, it kinda didn't wanna go... Ticking like crazy. Pretty sure the lifter is shot, or somehow got turned. Any advice? Really don't wanna tear it down again.
You could try an additive to see if it helps. If it’s too bad it will need work
If I just got an oil change a week ago can I still use the additives
Yes. You may have to drain some oil out to make room for the additive. You don’t want to overfill
hi. thnc for the video . do i used some "hydraulic lifter" additive, and did nont seen any change . on my yaris . i will trie your method, and get back , whit a new imput , since i wold hate to brake down the lifters block head, to regulate them properly.thnx again
I had his very similar situation where was very loud and I took your advice and drove it for about five or 10 minutes and completely silence my vehicle really appreciate it thank you
Awesome, glad it helped
Did you have loss of power also
How many miles on your car? Mine has 235k.
@joev.7909 mine has 132k.... always changed the oil every 3k miles since I got it at 125k..... so I'm curious on wtf the previous owner did and didn't do
We always put a quart or two of diesel and have engine warm when you do this just let I idle for a hour and watch your oil pressure gauge to make sure it does not get too low and shut motor down and drain your oil and pour a gallon of diesel just to flush any sludge out and then pour a couple quarts of cheap oil to help fish diesel fuel out and this on 390 ford pickup and the motor was ran with penzoil that had a problem of foaming up and sludge on valve train area and I always use vavoline because it never foamed up and this was back in the 70’s and 80’s but worked great to clean the inside of the engine out and lifters out .
I’m so sad I have to look this up 😩 I don’t want to add these things to my engine sucks man
I’m going to try this on my GMC Denali Yukon XL 2013, it’s rapid tapping, it’s so hard to get good advice
If the lifters are bad they will need to be replaced
Hi, thanks for the video! I have a Toyota Land Cruiser, 8 Quarts of oil... I will try your method. My question: Is it really bad to drive when your lifters are ticking even if they are quieted?
If they are bad, it’s best to have them replaced
Would it work for 5.7 hemi do anybody know
That's what I am trying to figure out to
You must keep silence while comparing before and after. Just a suggestion for future
Had the same noise on my dad truck took it to a shop told my dad to put the same stuff and let it blow up and bring it back to get a new notor so i change out the lifter still driving after 5yrs after replacing parts still quiet 😊
What?!
I tried this and it got louder and started to squeek like a mofo. Idk if I recommend it, my lifters are bad so 🤷
Marvel Mystery oil in the gas and a good highway drive does wonders on my Ford 5.4 with 250k miles on it when the lifters start becoming noisy after sitting for a week or so.
I use the high mileage Lucas every oil change in my 2012 Toyota Avalon never heard that tap again.
Can these suggestions help my 2011 Cadillac? On disability I don't know what to do..I can't afford a mechanic..can't even get metro auto ministry to help me..they want a code first am afraid to drive it to auto zone because not registered. I don't know who or to get help...lifter has to be replaced before I can do anything 😢 please HELP!!!...
You can try this but if the damage is too far gone you will need to replace the lifter(s)
What I use in my 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo is diesel oil that has zinc especially if you have a high compression engine Mobile 1 DELVAC
This seemed to do the trick for me. thank you very much. I mentioned to my mechanic that it started ticking after my last oil change and of course they were willing to charge me 3000 to replace the lifters when in actuality they probably cause the problem by not putting enough oil in. will never go back to them.
Every time my Jeep has ticked its due to rocker arms…if it ticks park it…avoid paying for new cams! Do it yourself save 3-4K!
A qt. Of automatic trans oil will clean lifters. Put it in then drive around a few miles then change oil
NEVER USE STOP LEAK PRODUCTS NO MATTER THE BRAND.
LIQUI MOLY HAS OIL ADDITIVE FOR THE NOISY LIFTER ISSUE
I have a 2010 Kia Forte Coupe. Talk about a ticking It sounds like it's a bomb ready to blow up! I've tried marvel mystery Oil worked for a little bit. And I've tried a couple other things. But the taking still comes back. I believe it's the motor and that year is known for that from what I hear from other Kia owners. But I'm going to try this Lucas Oil and I'll let you know. Thanks for the video!
@@worldofwonders21 unfortunately if it’s too far gone the only solution is a new engine
I noticed that you didn’t show the condition of the car. So it clearly shows that the was trashed already and whatever happens next to the engine goes without saying. There is no way you would do that to a nice car. There isn’t a mechanic in a plastic bottle for you to fix that. And what about the oil filter getting clogged with all that goo that you put in? Oh by the way , is that a kit car looking like a Lamborghini towards the end of the video?
The car in the video had an engine with almost 200,000 miles on it, the engine was in bad shape. It did not clog the filter. Yes, it’s a kit car.
Hi guy 2005 trailblazer get worse when I do that. So I have to drain the oil out completely and put back 5w-30 and add one quart of ATF IN IT . And it quiet .
GDi - Gosh Damn Investment Hate these motors. Lucas is amazing. I use their products all the time.
Hey man I love the video definitely subscribed. My Kia Soul ran super low on oil and by the time I found out about it I’ve been hearing this ticking it sounds a lot faster than the tick in this video what might it be
It could be the valve lifters, or the timing chain and sprocket

Can the addititve help your lifters last longer I know I need new lifters soon but so far just have bad ticking no misfires yet ? I figure I got about 2 to 3 months left on the lifters without addititve is it possible for lifters to go 4 to 6 months with addititve? ( motor has been replaced one rebuilt another time so I do know my time frame from how noisy they are) 492457km on truck its a work truck 6.4 hemi
Also thank you for making this video
I wouldn’t add this unless your lifters are making noise. Wouldn’t use it as a preventative since it thickens the oil too much
Hell I'll spend a fortune in this Lucas crap I may as well invest it in a electric car......
Question… 2012 dodge charger, v6. I normally get my oil changed by a professional. Can this be added post putting oil in or does it have to be done before?
It can be after but you need to drain out the oil to accommodate the additive. You don’t want to overfill the oil.
The 6.2 and a 5.3 the dod kills the lifters your thoughts?
Yeah my dang Hyundai Elantra does this tick tick tick tick tick. Sounds like crap.
Great job! Going to add it to my 92 ford explorer that has slight ticking sound this should help!@

USEFUL USEFUL INFO. I have a 2008 Ford Focus that was clicking like the video. NOT Anymore. THank You Thank you so SO SOOO MUCH! God bless you sir in all that you do.
Hi, what country are you in and what product did you use for this, please? I have a Ford Focus 1.6 petrol that's quite noisy.
So do you have to keep doing this method forever to quiet lifters? Like after you use the oil stabilizer for a while after oil changes, can you stop putting it in the motor in order to quiet the lifters?
You should do this at every oil change, unless you have the issue fixed
Hi mate I just changed my engine oil couple of weeks ago. Can I add additive on top of it?
@@myRanjeet yes, but you’ll need to drain the amount of oil you are adding in additives so you don’t overfill it.
I have the same noise in my Ford f150 1996 ? Do you think it’s work on that????????
You could try it. If the damage is too far gone you’ll need a mechanic to look at it
Lucas oil even scotty kilmer recommends it with issues like this great stuff been around for years and years.

Hello..
I had the Hemi Tick at 10,000 miles.. tick tick tick tick... that was so annoying. I added a bottle when I changed the oil.
my Challenger 392 ScatPack hasn't ticked for 5000 miles.
Use for all my vehicles, Audi A6 3.0 TDI, Beetle 1.8t and also for my Camaro Iroc 5.0 TPI...
The engines run so well with it.
greetings from Germany
Anything will quiet if he was that shit come on dude come on man
I am now relieved, my plan is to get a 320i was afraid of such problem at first.
Thank you for the video and have a blessed day today 🙏
That is not valve lifter, it is rod knock, better buy a new engine!
How well does this work in a 2003 Toyota Tacoma 2.7 2WD?
Tried this made a bit of difference... Thanks
Is fixing lifters an expensive job I an trying to sell my 2005 tucson and when engine gets hot and lift up the hood I here a ticking nosie and people think the engine is gonna go
Depends on the vehicle, but on average it run as high as $2,500
Would it help for a 4200 v6 gmc envoy? Driving down the road the knocking started lost power. Oil was dry, put 4qts in but still a loud knocking and loss of power...
If the oil was low and dry you may have damaged the engine
Yes I'm positive I might have. The noise got quite on top of the motor .. now it moves to the bottom of the motor. Sounds like the oil pan area, a squeaking and hard knocking sound.@@PhillipsVision
I changed the oil and did your additives. Nothing changed. The ticking seems to be coming from both sides of the motor but lower. It is driving me crazy.
Take it to a mechanic, it might be internal damage that need attention
@@PhillipsVisionI think I found the issue. Dang flex plate. Haha I am 60. And have health issues. Time to trade it in. I can not afford a tranny drop. If I was younger I would be all over this.
Thanks so much for explaining all this. I’m teaching myself mechanicery because I’ve learn the hard way that most people that try to help don’t know what they’re talking about or they don’t know how to describe what they’re talking about properly for your situation. They just say whatever they think and that’s it and it’s more confusing… They can’t go get the stuff from the auto store and you’ll be great… And then you get to the auto store and there is a whole Narnia wall of all the products made by all the people and all the things but it doesn’t exactly explain what you really need and is very confusing. You’re not going to read every freaking label so for me trying to go with experience or known information from others and what actually works and a good explanation is amazing. And you have done that here today… thanks bro 😊
How much of each do you add if u don’t do an oil change .. I just had oil change done a month ago .
You can add up to the recommended amount but make sure you drain that amount from your oil. You don’t want to overfill it
Wouldn’t a heavier weight oil do the same thing in theory?
You think this will help a 2019 Silverado with 68k that has a tap sound every few seconds?
It might, depending on where the cause is coming from.
I had an oil change done about 2 months ago and don't drive the vehicle more than 100 miles per month. Do I have to drain the oil, or can I just add the stabilizer and stop leak to the existing oil?
You can add it, just make sure you drain enough oil out to make capacity for the additive(s). You don’t want to overfill your engine
My Rio sounds exaclty the same and now has 217 000km on it.
Annoying ticking sound that goes on and off. Ticking sound is much stronger and noticeable on idle or low speeds.
Gamma 1.6 drinks oil like an alcoholic but does not smoke either on cold start or simply running. Where the hell goes the oil if it ain't smoking !?!
Could be leaking, or burning it without noticeable indications
