What is the name of the product

[@michaelquillen2679]

Knew an old mechanic (had his own shop) back in the 80s who swore by Rislone. He would use a 50/50 mix of Rislone/motor oil in the crankcase (wouldn't want to try his mix ratio with today's modern engines and their tight tolerances).

[@BomB_Don]

I have an 01' GS300 and risilone quieted the engine. I didn't have ticks but its runs smoother with risilone. Marvel mystery oil works too. I love this lexus: 189500 miles and 20 yrs old still running like new. Man that tick was more like a grind, that would scare me

Bro this simple fix save me thousands thanks 🙏

[@AlanGCarvajal]

For those who don't know, the type of oil you use in your engine has to be the thickness the manufacturer specified. Sure, you can put other types of oil in it, but on the long run it can damage your engine (especially v8 trucks or high performance engines). When you add these additives, you are altering the thickness of the oil, so after using the cleaner go ahead and do an oil change. If knocking continues, don't keep adding additives. Instead you need to get your lifters adjusted/replaced. If you increase the thickness of your oil, knocking will probably be reduced, but the engine can get damaged.

[@TheBasstead1]

You are correct. The weight and viscosity of oils are determined by engine bearing tolerances, engine RPM, operating temps, etc... However, a froze lifter is eventually catastrophic. I propose Rislone should be used until the lifter frees up. Then change the oil.

[@MrRohanThomas]

Yep, some idiot put 5W30 in my Zafira, Z18XE and it started to rattle on startup then I searched up what oil it uses and I got 10W40, OW40 and 5W40 as soon I put 10W40 the noise went away

[@testaccount51298]

I have a 95 Isuzu pickup 4 cyl. It had a rod knock when i got it really bad so i started using 20w50 conventional with 30 - 35% lucas. It was a risk but the rod knock is completely gone when the oil is thick and consistently comes back every time I need to change the oil when it gets things out due to heat and stress. It might be erased but the way I saw it I wasn't going to get very many miles with a rod knock that bad before throwing something bad. I've had it for a year now and put 30k miles on it and it's running better than ever. It was also shifting kind of hard and not shifting in Reverse good, so I put 20 50 oil with about 25% Lucas in the transmission and it actually shifts a lot better now. If something gets destroyed then oh well but it's a 25 year old car I only paid 1200 for it

[@josepeixoto3384]

You sure??!! the "thickness" of *any* oil varies wildly with TEMPERATURE,no point in being too precise there; the manuf. API classification (C for Compression,that means diesel, S for Spark,that means gas) is what needs to be followed; also, OLD engines need thicker oil, because the clearances have opened up; and DO NOT observe oil change intervals the manufs recommend; for instance,in Europe Renault says 30000 kms for most Dci engines (1.5 Dci,1.9 DCI..); DO NOT do that,you'll RUIN the engine, it's a CALAMITY ,millions of RUINED engines; CHANGE the oil every 8000 or 10000 Kms,tops,screw what the manuf says,he says that ONLY TO SATISFY THE CLIMATE GANG,damn them,EGRs and all that crap, they COST the pçanet DEARLY with their theories...i know i'm already paying thru the nose here in Eu-rape... everybody is...
