Hello. I have a 2008 EL with 62,000 miles and have recently noticed a ticking noise. It is very intermittent, sometimes occurring on cold start and others after it has been running. It only makes the noise for a matter of 30 seconds or so, It is not loud, and to me sounds like a lifter as the noise speeds up as the rpm's increase. Has anyone had this issue? I've read from others to change the oil from 5w-20 to a 5w-30 mixture as most have had success in eliminating the noise.
