Problem overview

Some Suzuki Verona owners report experiencing lifter ticking issues that may be related to the use of additives. These owners note that while additives designed to provide additional lubrication can help reduce lifter tick, deposits clogging the lifters often contribute to the problem. Cleaning these deposits can effectively alleviate the ticking noise. Additionally, some owners find that using oil additives serves as a cost-efficient solution compared to more invasive methods like lifter replacement. However, it is important for owners to identify the root cause of the lifter tick, as ignoring it could lead to more serious engine problems and costly repairs over time. Regular maintenance, including ensuring adequate oil levels and changing old oil and filters, is crucial for addressing lifter tick issues and preventing significant engine damage.
