So i changed my oil today with fully synthetic Mobil 1 Just as recommended and i started the engine up and i get this? What the crap! It sounds like a bad lifter or something and it never ever did this noise before?

And it was 5w 30

 

my RA has made this noise every since i bought it used with 12k, ive been using Royal purple. I think this is normal, im not sure about older evo's since you have different engine, try posting in the right section

 

Well idk i've been reading alot and i found a few posts with the same issues and people said that this is normal??? How is this normal? If this were normal how do you know if you have a bent vavle or bad lifter? And what do you mean post in the right section? I posted in evo general? I have a 2003 evo 8

 

This is evo x general

 

Oh sorry i just saw that! I reposted! So your new evo even makes this noise?

 

Yes, wrong section. You posted this in Evo X forum and not Lancer Evolution 1-9. Mods will most likely move it.

Anyway, It sounds like a lifter.

 

that's not normal. trust me.. did you check your oil level make sure you put enough oil in.. Or haven't put to much oil in. Also does the noise go away when the motor warms up to regular temp? or does it not make noise when cold but as soon as operating temps it starts. more info is needed.

 

It's quiet at start up, and then after running for about 1-4 minutes its starts to slowly get louder! I have not driven the car the whole month! I just changed the oil today. It never made that noise until i changed the oil. The oil is not low but is a little over the full mark? ( does it affect it if its over the full mark)

I have the same EXACT noise but starts at cold start up and gets quieter after 5-10 min. It is louder when I put fresh oil on it. BUT, I have had this noise for 10XXX miles with no noticeable problems running 30psi.

 

Prob have to drain or bleed the lifters.

 

dude im running all stock? Except a filter and BOV Im just so pissed right now, and paranoid. Bc we just put a new engine into my bro prelude bc he had a rod knock and i know thats not my problem but the last thing i want right now is a engine problem.

 

could it be making this noise bc of to much oil?

 

change to a thicker i think 5 w 30 is too thin on the bearings and in the head i use amsoil 15w40 used for disels and turbo engines the heat thins the oil out causing unwanted wear on the engine , changing to 15w 40 or something heavier should help
