alot of the time, the carbon in the old oil makes up the gaps in worn pieces of your engine, and when you change the oil, it washes that carbon away. To get by, you can add some Lucas brand oil stabilizer, just drain a quart of oil and add the lucas. It is much heavier than the oil, so it helps take up the space left by the carbon, but it IS NOT A FIX. It will just help you get by until you can make the proper repairs. Any time you have a knock, you are usually doing damage to the motor every time you crank it, so use it as little as possible until you can have the motor rebuilt. Let me know if this helps :)

SOURCE: I have a 2002 Ford Taurus, had it checked at auto

remove sparkplug wire from #2 at coilpack have someone start vehicle with sparkchecker check to see if #2 is firing if yes check to see if #2 injector is firing with noid light if yes do a compression check on #2 cylinder to see if enough compression is present to support combustion this problem accompanied with the noises you describe is not good sorry but goodluck

this sounds like the engine oil cooler hose was leaking.

DO NOT run the engine again until you fill with oil.

start the engine and look for the hose that is leaking.

Band adjustment is very sensitive on these units, I set both adjustments at one turn. This is a 4 speed trans that has been converted to a 5 speed by turning on the od unit ( 1-2 shift ) in first gear.the 2-3 shift is busy because the od band is coming off causing the od unit to transfer back to 1:1 and the intermediate band is coming on . I have found that if the overdrive band is to loose it will release to fast causing a flare on the 2-3 shift bot not really affecting the 4-5 (overdrive) shift. So break both band adjustments loose and tighten the adjustment screw down and back off 1 turn the tighten jam nuts. Also the fluid level should be checked with the transmission warm ( 100 f , not hot, not cold) and the fluid should stream out of the check tube. Transgo makes a really nice vb kit that i use that will help these symptoms.
