Hi,

I have a noisy lifter on my OM603...what can I do to get rid of it other than replacing it.

I have heard that switching to fully synthetic helps, ie 0/40...is this true?

I have also heard that I can get something to flush through the engine which will clear any gunk out which may be causing the lifter to stick...any truth in this and if so what product should I use?

Any other idea's

Cheers
