Yep, lifters can take a while to refill once they've got air in them. They'll take a good while for the treatment to help too, if it helps, as they are a dead end as far as the oil system goes, so the treatment takes ages to get worked into the lifters..

TBH, the best bet is probably to get a 2nd hand head set of lifters, dismantle them and clean them out (maintenance guide available, IIRC), then swap them.

IME, the STP stuff is pretty poor. At next oil change, pop some Wynns lifter treatment in, its better, but still takes a while to work.

As to using it, if its just a single lifter, using it is the best thing you can do.  If its all lifters, I'd measure oil pressure.



Reminds me, I really should check the oil pressure on the MV6, given the strop that threw 30k ago ::).

I think if there was anything wrong with your oil pressure, it'd have put a leg out of bed long ago. ;)

I put the STP stuff in as it was the dearest and thought it would be the best , normally i would buy WYNNS
 :'( I have not had oil light come on but the tapping sound has not gone away yet  :(
As for checking oil pressure i havent got a clue  ;D Car runs fine pulls very well as normal .
