someone with a ve motor(dohc) which ticks a little after cold starts should try keeping their oil 1\2 a quart over full ....now hear me out
they could see if their sometimy vtc tick goes away by adding 1\2 qt (or 1)of oil overfull
and try it before the next oil change was scheduled any way
i think on a 4qt system its not much over at 12.5% overfull(1 qt =25% so 1\2 qt 12.5%)
but why would a car company tell us to keep it at 87.5%full on oil ...... i still think vtc tick happens more when im parked at nicks house(pointed uphill)
(also my wtr pmp groans a sec when cold im sure its the wtr pump)im switching back to my 91 se 5-spd gets more MPG foo
