I've had 3 different 18+ GTs for rental cars in the past couple of months; was traveling for work and hit status. I've made the effort to check and see if any of them had the tick/rattle and none of them did. They're all actually quieter than mine. Makes me think this issue isn't actually that...
Just want to compare, when you accelerate past 3.5k RPM on first gear, do you notice the PSI climbs really high and fairly fast? Also, what does your idle oil PSI sit at?
I think my oil pressure has changed since ceratec; higher during idle and rise faster with RPM climb. Cruising maybe not so much. I'm curious if anyone who's gone to 5w-30 has noticed any increase in oil pressure.
It's sitting more at around 27 psi at idle now. I don't remember how much it was before but from memory the disk position used to sit a bit lower in general. 1,2 gear the oil pressure climbs very fast but seems to peak at 90. Cruising psi is about 40-50.
So I added ceratec, about a little more than half the bottle.
Noticed that my oil pressure climbs pretty high now. About 3k rpm on first gear would bring it to over 70 psi. This doesn't sound normal does it. The bright side is it is effective in treating the ticking...
At operating temp idle...
Update to this issue.
Haven't been driving my car much over the past few months but this morning, seemingly out of nowhere, the tick/clattering got extremely loud. So loud that I can hear it reverberate in a small street. It's a ticking noise during clutch engagement and acceleration up to...
Wondering if anyone else have this noise. When driving by a wall or anything that bounces noise back I can hear rapid tapping/ticking noise from somewhere under my car. The noise isn't present when idle and seem to get louder as the engine warms.
My car is a 2016, 27000~ miles on it. Yesterday car started up fine but this morning the car had a hard time cranking. Drove it to work and after work car won't start. Jumped the battery, got home (an hour drive), and 20 mins later won't start again. Isn't it kind of quick for a battery to die...
