One of these mornings when
you start your car you.' may
hear a mysterious tick -tick''
tick •fr-om4 aengin or -a fe=
seconds, • on't ignore it. The
sound ca •be a sign of impend-
ing engine troubles. ,
The tick -tick -tick you hear
is the sound Of your car's to
pets' tapping, a malady that
affects: some engines: in cold
weather When, .the : oil• takes
longer • to . get • to the 'valve
mechanism: Cold oil ' moves
slowlybecause•, it thicker.
If the ticking ;prevails for
more than 'a .few seconds; your
problem may be dirty : oi1 and
a clogged .oil filter. One tiny
' particle, of dirt, carbon; a min.-
ute ..speck. of Metal' or plain
old dust from the air Can : be
enough to hinder the opera-
• tion of the precision hydraulic
valve lifters that makemodern
engines so q'fiet. ,
If your• should hear an omin-
•'ous tick=tick-tick,. • the first
' thing to do is to take a look at
the lube .sticker on your door
jamb to see when. you .last had
the oil•and filter changed. The
last man to do the job should
• have noted it there. If it has •
been more than three months
since you had this service, you
may be inflicting considerable
damage! to ` your engine.

also includes Sealing, cooling
and keeping the engine: clean,

Air filters should be changed;

. When to change 'oil and oil

driving . ; conditions than• . on
mileage. Short distance, stop
and go . driving, ,for example,,.:.
Is harder on engines than long;
steady' speeds. Winter weath
er, too, presents problems.
A good,rule. of thumb is to.
change oil about every three
thousand miles or every
riinet dato:�uutJn a
new oil filter at every other oil

oil, because `clean oil running.
