The most common remedy is to flush Sea-Foam, Gunk engine flush through right before an oil change...then run 0W-30 Mobil 1 or other oil. That seems to help clear it up for most.

I can not find an answer for mine. I have done Gunk Engine Flush, Sea-Foam, Royal Purple oil, 0W-30, with no avail. I will keep it up in hopes that a few treatments over time will help.

Just go to know the tick. If you know the sound, it will be ok. Just listen for other irregularities.
