J's Lexus Is300 Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I have a 2001 IS300 with 60,ooo miles. After the car has been sitting for a while when I go to start it, it makes a slite ticking noise and then it goes away.. What should I do about this slite ticking noise?
smooth1 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 5,000 miles a year average? Do you take alot of very short trips or does the car sit for long periods between drives?
J's Lexus Is300 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 Yea, I usually do take short trips when I drive.
smooth1 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Then you probably need to change the oil more often. Are you running Dino or synthetic?
J's Lexus Is300 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Posted November 5, 2011 I change my oil often.. I'm running Mobil 1 synthetic..
IanH Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 post a video with sound. I suspect its just valve noise and nothing to worry about.
superlexuslove Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I believe it is just valve noise which is pretty normal!Don't worry
