Knock @ idle after oil change?? Video
So background on jeep is 1350000 miles hairline crack in head. Bone stock.. So as iv been trying to change oil every 1500 miles to hopefully buy me time till I either get head replaced or whatever I'm gonna do.. I've been running 10-30 with fram ultra gaurd..
Decided to go with a lil heavier weight oil and better filter so went with 10-40 and mopar filter. Well it used to make a light knocking up until it warmed up then went away, ever since I switched over its constantly there but goes away as soon as I give it gas?? Tried tightening flex plate bolts,checked for cracks, used higher octane gas, draining a quart and adding one of Lucas and nothing. The sound is loudest at the bottom of oil pan "close to the drain plug. In case I can't upload video it sounds like someone is under my jeep just barely tapping with a tiny wood hammer it speeds up a little bit when I first give it gas but as soon as rpms start to go up its gone or I can't hear it one sorry for the novel..any ideas http://https://youtu.be/fflU1Dd22Mk BTW oil does not get milky but psi IS under spec 10 when HOT, have not confirmed with mech gauge psi builds to about 36@2000 rpms

Sounds like the oil is too thick and the pump can't move enough oil unless the rpms are up a bit. I would go back to 10-30. The sound could easily go away.

I believe that's what the manual reccomends for cold weather. I use delo 400 10-30 cuz I'm crazy about oil. It comes for working at a fuel/oil distributor for a while.
