i think i may switch over to 10w-30 next change since its getting warmer out and my engine seems to be a bit noisy with the 5w-30 fully synthetic

lifter tick? I heard it's rather common on the hemi, and i thought the 4.7 is a similar yet distant cousin?

Um isn't the hemi an in block cam? And the 4.7 is obviously an OHC so I don't see how they are related.

I don't know how much can be related if they have different engine designs.
