Atif, try the Mobil-1 on your car... with new lifters it should be quiet. No oil treatment of any kind should be needed. I've heard of more than one car that had the noise go away simply by switching to M-1. (15W-50. Did I mention 15W-50?)

Thanks gsxr, I will try Mobil 1 15w50 at the next oil change which will be in a week's time.
