open the hood of your car.. listen to the engine.. does it always sound like its low on oil or is it just me? i end up checking my oil levels constantly, not like that's a bad thing but i do it cause i always think the engine is low on oil cause of how it sounds.. feedback on this?

Every honda ive ever heard has a noisy valvetrain, especially noticable when your standing right next to it under the hood... even their motorcycles do.

The ticking is from the injectors. Many hondas have noisy injectors. No reason to worry about it, it's perfectly normal.

That's how it's supposed to sound, just like a sewing machine. No need to worry. :)
