synthetic oil 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be charley on  Fri Feb 1 23:59 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I had a very loud ticking noise coming from my lifters,i changed to mobil one 10w30 , after 1300 miles i was still getting the ticking noise.
I took it to volvo dealer ,they dropped the oil pan ,cleaned out alot of sludge,replaced the pick-up?,some seals,and gaskets,replaced the oil filter,and the oil(put regular oil in,not synthetic). the lifter noise seems to have gone away. the car has 73,600 miles on it.
Should i go back to synthetic? i think i will, but probably will use mobil one 10w 30 , i can buy it for $21.00 per 6 qt. case
is amsoil really that much better?
