Hello, I have Corolla 99 and I've noticed a pinging noise comming from the engine. I think this happend because i was driving fast (170km/h at 4000rpms 5th speed) on the highway with low oil... that's when the noise started. I filled up oil and the noise went away a little bit. Now everytime i start my car, the noise isnt really there, its very minor. The noise comes back after i drive on the highway at 110km/h... As soon as i get off the highway i clearly hear the pinging noise again. I've read something about trying to use Rislone engine treatment for the noise... is this a good idea? could it damage the engine even more?
What should i do other than that? Does anybody know what this is exactly?
