I was low on oil, then I heard the clacking while driving.
My 420a idles, drives, and does everything but THE LOUD LOUD CLICKING CLACKING NOISES!
Could this mean a bad oil pump, or bad lifters because of no oil ?
I refilled oil, should I let it idle with the engine full of oil?
Should I just buy some seafoam and put it into the crankcase and see if it frees the lifters?
It was only super low on oil for about 30 seconds before I pulled over on the freeway and got some oil brought to me.
Could someone please help me get that loud noise to go away ? Do you guys think there is damage to the engine ?
PLEASE HELP, WORRIED!
Thanks all ! Any help appreaciated.
