These engines don't have lifters, they have hydraulic lash adjusters. Your engine is probably on its way out from running on such low oil levels for who knows how long
serves the same purpose , different name , sort of. Lol
I said it in terms he could understand.

replaced mine at 5000 miles, been there done that.
