Volks,

A few days ago I posted a 10,000 mile report on the performance of the
2.1L Waterboxer AVP engine I installed.

I mentioned that 1 or 2 lifters were noisy (pump up issue) at start up,
even if it just sat overnight or a couple of hours.

John Rodgers suggested that I change over to Mobile One Synthetic.

Greta advise!

Four days ago I made the change to 15/50 Mobile One.

Since then the lifter problem see to have been almost 100% resolved.

About 10% of the time I get a little noise at start up but it goes way
very quickly.

BTW .. I have always used a Mann or Mahle Oil filter and was using
Castrol GTX 20-50 oil.
