Will a synthetic oil get rid of a noisy lifter in a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme?
Not likely. If you have a noisy lifter then its oil port is probably plugged because you didn't change the oil and it's too late for synthetic oil to help you. Try it, though, because the alternative is a lot more costly.
You were told that when you take off the intake you are supposed to change the oil you failed to change the oil and now a lifter is knocking Could this cause you to not have any power?
Why yes. Loss of compression in that cylinder that has noisy lifter.
Will thicker oil stop lifter sounds?
Sometimes depending on why lifters are noisy. If there is a piece of dirt stuck in one or it's damaged it needs replacing

My 2002 Camaro has a Tapping noise during operation . What could that be?
A tapping noise in a 2002 Camaro could indicated noisy lifters. Make sure that the oil level is full, and the oil is clean and recently changed. Lifter quieting additives can help reduce the noise some.
Why does your 2002 Dodge Caravan clatter and have dirty oil?
When you say "clatter" do you mean lifter/valve noise in the top end under the valve covers? Dirty oil will make the top end noisy because it is not lubricating enough to protect the components. Or the oil pickup is clogged. Best to change the oil if you know it is dirty and see how it sounds after that.
Why is a loud clattering noise coming from the engine on your 3.8 motor on your buick lesabre when it gets warm and oil light comes on?
First check oil level. "Loud clattering" can be lifter noise you are hearing. This can indicate oil is not reaching the top of the engine or worn valve train parts. Another reason for noisy lifters could be the oil pickup is not picking up, could be clogged.

90 Chrysler LeBaron 6 Cyl. with a ticking noise.Not real loud doesn't seem to get much louder with acceleration. Shop said the car was almost out of oil last time it was changed.How to fix quiet tick?
Sounds like a dirty valve lifter or maybe the lifter lost prime. I suggest changing the oil using something lite like 5w30 . Also ass a can of CD2 or vave medic. They are both made for quieting noisy lifters Also chech the oil level weekly to make sure you do not run low again.
