Good morning.

Cam and lifter failure are common on the 5.3. the lifters fail internally and by changing grade or viscosity will not help. the cams also wear and the valve lift get effected and effects performance.

have some check it for you to be sure. the recommended repair is to replace the cam and lifters.
