Can you use a hydraulic valve lifter treatment for a slight tapping noise?

Yes, a hydraulic valve lifter treatment can be effective for reducing or eliminating a slight tapping noise in an engine. These treatments are designed to clean and lubricate the lifters, helping to restore proper function and reduce noise caused by wear, sludge, or oil breakdown. However, if the tapping persists after treatment, it may indicate a more serious issue that requires further diagnosis and repair. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic before using such treatments.
