I must be lucky ,I use 8 quarts od Mobil 1 euro formula 0-40 with a Mobil 1 M1-113 filter and no ticking so far. I get the 5 quart jugs at Walmart for $28.95 .

Sounds like a type writer, especially when driving along a wall, like in a drive through. Drives me crazy, I'll have to try this.

I always let mine drain for 20 min with the filter off on the lift ,fill it with 8 quarts and check it after start up . It is always exactly at the full mark . don't understand how being exactly full would make it tick .Maybe it is an aftermarket cam thing .

Mine was stock when I started running 7 and the filter full.

Is there a windage tray for the stock oil pan that would prevent the aeration? Air in the oil affects more than lifters...it's not good for bearings, journals and pistons either.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but wouldn't taking oil away to reduce lifter noise cause other issues? I thought the LS3 oil delivery system calls for 8 quarts for optimum performance at high rpm so it stays lubricated and helps keep the engine cool (to some degree) all throughout the rpm range, would taking away 1/2 to 1 quart hinder that some?

Mainly the oil capacity is for the longer durations between oil changes. Today's synthetics and the amounts today's engines hold is why they can go over 10k miles between changes. High rpm oiling not so much.
It would startle you to know how much oil the crate engine class races run in their stuff lol
