Re: lifter tick cold

5w-30 in really cold areas and I would really look at the coolant reservior level closely as this tick is often the first sign of that lower intake leaking often into the valley on the lifters, cam, and balance shaft - small spray in so never see in oil by just looking - all mine did this by 100k and when I pulled the intake the block was the burnt orange color of dex cool.
