Right when I changed mine for the first time 2200, I wonder if the dealers are adding something to the vehicles? Mine was sitting in the show room floor, did not start it or test drive that particular car before purchase. So so odd that it happens to many right after an oil change.I don't have the tick ... my engine sounds pretty quiet, and I'm always listening for noises. I'm switching to 5W-30 Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic as it's due for an oil change soon. I researched a lot of 5W-30 oils, and Valvoline looked really good to me (high HTHS and low Noack numbers), and it has some moly in the formulation too.
I have been running Motorcraft synthetic blend 5W-20. But my GT only has 4K miles and had the first oil change at 2200 miles.
