Engine ticking started around 120K when I would drive more than 2000 miles without adding oil. It would stop ticking when oil was added. I just kept checking the oil every 1000 miles to keep it from ticking. Eventually the ticking started and never stopped. I took it in to get checked out and the shop said that it was a valve making the noise and they would need to rebuild the engine to fix it. I have driven the car for 20K miles since this started and there has been no further issues, just an annoying noise.
