In addition, after adding 1 quart of oil when I initially heard the loud ticking noise at startup, there has been no lifter noise at all... I always change the oil when the change oil light comes on...
you have added 1-1/2quarts over the past week your oil consumption is excessive especially 69kmi on vehicle.find out why leak or engine damage. not enough oil changes.....
