Hi,

The only think you can do at this time is wait until the next oil change and see if it stops. The idea of using magnetic oil is to cause oil to adhere to the metal components. I honestly don't feel it would work simply because of the heat and vibration made by an engine.

Does it seem to be lessening as you use the vehicle?
