[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 16054132, member: 35549"] These engines use oil. It's just a nature of the beast. I got to the point I checked it at every fill up. If it was low enough to not reach the dip stick and you were revving it to 6500rpm, you might have a problem. If it was a quart low and you idled it, less chance of a problem IMO. If you can work on an M3 you can handle this car with no problem. If the oil really was black I'd say there's some sludge build up in the engine. You could try some flush and change the oil. Even putting some Sea Foam in might help. Back in the day I knew people that swore by Rislone for cleaning out engines. If the new oil isn't helping the ticking it would be worth doing the stethoscope trick to see if you can locate where the ticking is. You might get lucky and only need a new set of lash ADJUSTERS as 52merc mention. Not the lash adjusteds. ;) [/QUOTE]
