need help. engine making ticking/lifter noise
engine 1nz-fe... oil. 10w-30... serviced every 3 mths
but i've noticed that i'm getting noise from the lifters but only when i'm in traffic or after long drives. car doesn't hesitate or stall or any of the weird stuff, the crap gas we have causes it it pink which is really bloody annoying but that's about it. any ideas? thanks in advance

could be your water pump..check inside the pulley if you got pink stuff leaking.

Lifter noise is normal for our engine. It becomes more audible as the oil gets hot and loses its viscosity. Running a higher viscosity oil would likely help, but would then cost you a bit of fuel economy.
