[QUOTE="WXMotorSports DecalsPartsAccs, post: 753457, member: 56982"] Here is my experience with Lifter noise. We blew an engine in our M3 race car. Replaced the top half and had lifter noise for a short time. Always used Mobil 1. In fact, all the fluids get replaced after a race. After many complaints to the mechanic we switched to another shop and I specially told him to drop the oil pan and check the oil pump. Found out we had a hole on top of the pan and a bad oil pump. Therefore, the lifters weren't getting enough pressure with oil. We now have a 7 qt pan and I'm going to add an accusump so the engine is always pressured up. My point is I don't think changing brands could cause that. I can see going from Mobil 1 to another brand though. [/QUOTE]
