If you have been taking your car to Firestone for oil changes, I feel sorry for you. Most places that change oil use the cheapest bulk oil available to make more money. What I suspect has happened is that the oil that was used in your engine was so low quality (like QS oil) that sludge has formed and baked into your piston rings, valve lifters, and valve seals. The cure is to have the engine completely motor flushed with butyl cellosolve, which dissolves all these unwanted deposits, and returns the engine to good working order. Then, install Mobil One. Have this changed after 3 months, and then wait a year to change it again. You can test the engine for presence of sludge by removing your oil filler cap and flipping it over. If it is coated with a dark waxy or black flaky deposit that you can scrape with your fingernail, the whole inside of your engine will look EXACTLY like this. Imagine this junk living on your piston rings and inside your lifters!!! A good engine flush should dispose of these deposits. E-mail me back for the best procedure! Good Luck! P.S. Lifters make noise because they are full of blockage, not because they have worn out!!!How much should it cost to replace lifters on a 1999 Buick Century?lol lol lol Your getting scammed. no such thing as a loose lifter. Worn yes, but that wouldn't cause excessive oil consumption.



Bad rings could cause that, leaking gasket could cause that, valve seals could cause that, in certain cases a blown head gasket could cause that.
