Do you really believe that if you don't fill the oil filter with oil before putting it back on the motor will start making strange noises?

I think it's a possibility that starting with a dry filter could contribute to or cause the bbq tick. It's all speculation on my part, until someone provides definite proof. What I do know, is that it's better to add oil to the filter than to put it on dry.

It may sound weird but I did my first oil change also and when I did the car feels different. I went synthetic, Mobile 1, with a K&N filter. Exhaust and performance just seemed to improve.

Good detailed video. What brand of gasoline do you use and which octane?

Pretty much any Top Tier rated gas station; I run 93.
The reason I ask is because I use Shell 91 octane here in CA. I often check my tail pipes for carbon deposits and I can say that after running this fuel for 3000 miles, I haven't seen a single spec of carbon while cleaning my tail pipes. I was on the fence whether or not to purchase a catch can for the Mustang like I did with my Ecoboost F150

I haven't noticed any carbon deposits on mine.

I watched your video over the weekend and gave my GT an oil change. What made it easy was the details you gave such as the location of the 7MM screws. I used QSUD 5W20 along with the Motorcraft filter. I picked up a magnet rated at 95 lbs at Harbor Freight for less than $5 and stuck it on the bottom of the oil pan
