my sons 300e will have a lifter tick for a few seconds. I use 20w50 dino in it....

I may back down when the summer winds down and try 15w40 Rotella or a synthetic of similar weight to see what happens.

runs great... that tick tick tick is a bit annoying at start up, however... goes away in a few seconds.....
