You could hear the ticking on mine when i would go across bridges. Was only on one side the driver side.Put the 10w40 and no more ticking.
That could be a coincidence. Ticking reverberating off walls, bridges, houses etc usually signifies some form of leak. It could be an exhaust leak, or a head leak, even a leak coming from a stripped spark plug hole which happened to be my case.
