[1999] Lexus ES300 - rattling under hood (update)
Hello all,
I posted here a couple weeks ago to get some opinions on an issue I had with my car. Here is that thread for reference.
It was suggested in there that I get an oil change as the first thing to try, so I did. It has been about 8 days now since the oil change and I have noticed some differences with the noise.
The rattling sound (as can be heard in the video from referenced thread) is a lot louder when the car is on drive and I am breaking.
If I am driving on a straight and not using the breaks, the rattling stops in a couple minutes.
Does this mean anything? The sound was thought to be a lifter in the engine. Does it make sense for the lifter rattle to be louder if I push the breaks and stop if I'm driving with no breaks?
Thanks!
NOTE: I had Full Synthetic oil in there before and now I put Synthetic oil.
