check the fluids it sounds like maybe one of them is low motor oil or transmission maybe most likely motor oil
I had the same noise then I changed the oil next thing you know it started knocking more got on the highway and it really started knocking next thing you know seized up looked under the car there was a piston rod right through the bottom of the oil tank.
oil needs changed engine ticking from bit having enough oil u gonna blow for engine up
sounds like it doesn't have any oil in the engine
It ant oiling
Yes, otherwise known as a lifter tick. Means u either don’t have enough oil or the pile is too thick for that engine and needs replaced… that’s best case scenario
valve tap, substitute 1 qt of oil with Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer and it can shut it up
you have to keep that oil full, motor sounds hurt.
"ain't got no oil in it...mmmhhhmm"
got a lil tappy tap id say oil is your best friend!
Needs oil
you need oil 😂
