My crossfire has about 150,000. It has a tick sound at startup, but goes away after about 2 minutes. If I drive it to work and it sits out in the sun all day, it does not make the ticking sound at startup. I tried using 2quart of Lucas oil stabilizer with my oil. It quites it down a lot. I will try the heavy duty oil stabilizer in the summer. I’m using the synthetic stuff now.
