Re: engine knock

Also since you live in FL, you can do a 20w50 oil change next time, or even 15w40 diesel oil, and add some Lucas oil stabilizer in there. With thicker, sticky oil your oil pressure should go up, and also help cushion any slap present. The only drawback is slightly worse gas mileage from the oil windage.
