Hello I just bought a 1998 RR HSE with 131000 and. Drove back from South Dakota no problems when I got Home changed oil( was black and grimy) and put in Mobil 1 my mechanic gave me a oil cleaner to help with any build up and clean out.Headed back to south Dakota for vacation got to South Dakota and this is when the lifters sound started to tick only after it warmed up and when I was idleing not when I accelerated. I also saw a small leak at the front main seal and another mechanic confirm the small leak.My question is I'm having the front seal replace and the lifter cleaned and looked at how bad is this really and how often do the lifters need to be changed or rocker arms if this can't be fixed through a good cleaning? Also all the mechanics told me who I ask that the lifters were no big deal is this true? Or should I just go to a heavier oil since I am using a 5w30. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
