OK.

Today, we had loud ticking at startup... ticked while I was in town (less than 30 MPH) got on a state highway, ticking stopped (60 MPH) came into another town, had to slow down again, and there was either a faint ticking or none at all.

The oil was changed religiously. The previous owners supplied me with a 3 ring binder with 100+ receipts of every dime they spent on the car. The oil was changed religiously with what the Volvo dealer called "Premium Mobil," but judging on the price they charged it was not synthetic, but maybe a blend...

The oil in there now has been in for 3200 miles and is still as clean as the day it went it. In fact, it's so clean, it's difficult to see on the dipstick... (But I know it's there!!!) :)

worried about lifter damage... We did have a fairly rapid temperature change when this began.... from 65 degrees to freezing within 24hours....

so, we'll have to do more research.

THanks, and any ideas appreciated.

Fred
