Hi, first post.

I have a 98 ALtima GLE, 80,000 miles. Runs well however upon starting the engine has recently begun to click for up to 10 seconds. I assume that is called a dry start. Then it quietens right down. Should I be having service of some kind done or ???

Thanks

Thanks Ad, oil level is fine, it uses next to no oil between changes, every 3,000 miles.

I wonder if I should add a Top Oil.

Bardahl 1 claims to quieten engine noise, but I am hesitant to add any additives without advice.
