Coke into motor oil for Lifter noise.

[Suffolk GameServer LAN]

I wouldn't use Coke or anything like that for lifter noise.
That's like peeing in the gas tank IMHO.
Audi Lifters: They clack.  They have done it since the early 80's.  Its
natural.
Thinner oil gets to the lifters but won't stay there for start up.
Let engine warm up normally then drive.
Mann filter and 10/40W can't hurt.  I've run 20/50 in summer and 10/40 in
winter.
Only the tighter clearances of newer motors warrant a lower viscosity like
0/30 or 10/30, unless you live in Alaska then 10/30 rocks your cold world.

I have a 91 80Q w/ 208k on it and when I start it up cold the lifters TAP
VERY LOUDLY until the engine reaches near operating temperature, it
comes/goes away/comes/goes away until op temp is reached, regardless of
revs. usually if I rev it to 2k and let go it'll disappear for a few seconds
then come back.
