the only engine oil additive ive had success with it Rislone. I had a very loud and annoying lifter tick and was already running ELF 5w40 synthetic oil. So at the next oil change i used mobil 1 5w40, now most say it takes a good amount of miles to clear up the lifter tick with synthetic oil. So i poured in some rislone and in a matter of minutes the lifter tick disapeared!

Now i have amsoil 15w40 with no additives and the lifter ticks havent returned since.
