Engine "Tick"

Did I read this right? You haven't changed the oil in twelve years?

By theway, if you started it right after changing the oil it would still be warm, therefore no tick.

No, I've owned the car for 12 years. #-o
I change the oil & filter a minimum of twice per year (out of storage and into storage) or at 3,000 miles (rarely reach 3,000 miles per season).
I started it this evening (after sitting for 24 hours) and the "Tick" is still gone.
