Why is my 2011 Dodge Durango making a ticking noise?

I’ve had my Dodge Durango since I bought it in 2011 and it’s always run just fine. Recently, though, it’s started making this weird ticking sound whenever it’s running. Do you know what may be causing it?

It can be frustrating when an otherwise reliable vehicle starts acting up. Luckily, your 2011 Dodge Durango’s ticking noise may not be anything serious. A likely cause of engine ticking sounds is low oil pressure, which is usually the result of low oil levels.
If you’re due for an oil and filter change, or it’s been a while since you last checked your oil levels, start there. If ensuring your oil is clean and topped off stops the ticking noise, you know what was causing it. However, if the ticking continues, you’ll have to take your trusty Durango into the shop for a check-up.
As your Durango continues to age, unplanned maintenance and repair expenses are likely to become more of a regular thing. Luckily, you can help offset the added expense by saving money on other car ownership-related costs, like
