It is used only as a second car locally and currently driven about 1,000 miles annually. It's in good condition except for one noisy valve lifter. The oil has been changed every three months, except for the last year, when we changed it twice annually due to diminished use. I have added CD2 additive for the last three years, which has helped quiet the lifter but has not been effective lately when driving just a few miles. Cold weather makes it worse. However, when we drive it for several miles, the noise disappears completely but raps again at the next start up. The Ford dealer advised us that correction measures or replacing lifters is not the type of work they do and to continue with additive. Internet sites advised flushing while others advise this could dislodge sludge; still others advise the only correction is replacement. I would appreciate any advice.
