I read on BITOG that ATF has less detergents than modern day engine oils, that was merely a myth from the past when it actually did clean more than engine oils do today.
I have decided that I want to stick with my Legend throughout college, because my budget will not allow me to get a car that is reliable and sporty. I'm fine with this decision, only if I can quiet the lifter ticking my Legend suffers.
I think I will do the Kerosene flush even though it threatens the gaskets and seals (I feel confident that they are prepped with my previous additive treatments).
I changed my oil to Havoline 20w-50 today and it still ticks, but it's quieter. I noticed that my 1000 mile GC 0w-30 was still slightly green, indicating that my engine is probably quite clean inside. That scared me, because that would mean that I simply have worn lifters right now, and doesn't that mean that practically nothing will fix the tick?
The kerosene flush probably shouldn't help my engine if in fact I have worn lifters. I despise my engine.
