My co-worker alerted me to my ticking. I hadn't paid any attention. Does the oil treatment work well with synthetic oil?

I apologize for bumping an old thread, but I want to dance in the streets right now, I'm so happy.

I bought an '08 Touring Edition last summer, and I love the car. But, the only flaw was loud ticking from the lifters.

I just chalked it up to the displacement, while telling myself, it's a 4 cyclinder it's supposed to be a bit noisey. Then I read about Marvel Mystery Oil, and in 2 days, the ticking is gone! The only noise I hear now is the pulsing from the injectors. Which sounds more natural to me anyway.

I tried synthetic oil changes, I've used Motor Honey with no success.

With regular oil, added 8oz there, and 8oz to the fuel.

I'm feeling good about my purchase again.
