Hi yes ticking in early model subarus is very a common valve/lifter prob in most cases a decent oil change or anti ticking treatment can quieten it or stop the noise altogether however in some cases the noisy part may be damaged beyond repair and need to be replaced
Testimonial: "Quick and helpful response appreciated!"
Do you recommend a specific type/brand of oil? I just put inexpensive oil in it but know that there are oils for high mileage cars.
i use caltex oil, magnetec or edge brand or something similar it seems a lot better than most for older subarus, it may take a few hundred miles of driving to wear in and dislodge the **** but hopefully should make a diff start with the simple solution first
Thanks for your help!
