I'm gonna kick my own ass if I have a problem the next time I start the car but:
MY '00
VIN 8433 (toward the end of the model year)
Bought the car in '02 with 4802 on the odometer. Drove it until '05 NA with Chevron 10W-30 conventional. Comptech SC/AC since '05 with about 53K on the clock now using Schaeffers 7000 synthetic or Amsoil 5W-40 Euro synthetic.
No TCT issues in over a decade.

114k. Original unmodified tensioner.
I'd still like to hear some theories pertaining to the folks like us who've never had an issue.

I've thought about changing mine out as a PM measure from time to time but whenever one of these threads is bumped I think I should leave well enough alone.

I just installed my brand new TCT about 9k miles and it's already acting up. I am always perfect on oil and add when needed. I check my oil every other day and now not only when it's warm it will do it for 10aeconds...sometimes all the time at a stop as well. I need some help! Maybe it's the oil pressure? Is my pump bad perhaps?
