i do not know about moble one, is there any cleaners in it?
best to change out oil even 4K miles. and filters every 2K.
filters get part pluged up and a by- pass valve opens up, thus no filtering.
in my diesels i run a " additave" in the fuel. ( need to help clean out the corn oil they water down the fuel with). never in the oil.
lifter problems might require new ones? or clean out the old ones. it is a varnise bulid up in them.
.O and someone said pull a head to fix a lifter???? the lifter side on the cam not in the clyinders. no need to pull a head to do this. not sure what your motor is like but most can be accessed by removing the valve cover.

He most likely has a collapsed lifter...
Its not going to go away with just an oil change..
If engine flush of ATF dont work, then pull the valve cover, find collapsed lifter. Pull rocker for that lifter and spray cb blaster down push rod to lifter.
Reassemble and see if that works..
Otherwise you need to pull head to replace lifters...

The previous vid I posted shows that process..
Its a GM thing... Fords also have their issues with thier cam phasers and such.

Marval mystery oil is just trans fluid AFAIK..
You can do the same as I suggested with a quart of trans fluid.
After you do it and see how dark the oil comes out you'll know it worked to desludge the motor and clean those lifter ports...
Just my opinion though and what I use and believe.
I wouldn't do the kerosene one though ..
I belive motor flushes are the same thing... Just tranny fluid in a bottle with a motor flush label...
