Video of the noises and warm temp/gauge reads: [ame]
Comparing to other youtube videos, it sounds normal but i am still curious and worriful! Opinions would be wonderful
Is additional engine noise necessarily bad after an oil change? Cars first oil change at 2000 miles, went from OEM motorcraft syn blend 5w-20 with the standard motorcraft filter to Penzoil ultra platinum 5w-30 with a royal purple filter. All of the vital temperatures are normal and identical to before the change, oil pressure is normal, dipstick shows it has enough oil. No leaks, everything checks out. I'm just curious as to if the additional noise is actually harmful. I want to get it out of my car asap if it is.
Used 8 Quartz, the filter is the right size and is sealed properly.
Car is a 2015 mustang GT with Performance package, the old track packs recommended 5w-50 (up from the standard 5w-20), most people switched to 5w-30 in the non-performance package to help out the engine for the heavier footed daily driver with an occasional track day or two. All the research I've done points to the 5w-30 being alright. Opinions?
Apparently a synthetic oil can "break in" and the noise will eventually subside. I can take a video if needed.
A few people i've asked said the noise is normal engine noise, and you will always get that after a car's first oil change because the oil that ford puts in from the factory has break-in additives. The noise is not loud at all, it can't be heard inside the cabin, only when you open the hood can you hear it.

, especially on start up if you park outside even with full synthetic oil. Plus warm up time will be longer and cool down shorter. 30 weight generally will result in higher hot temps than 20 weight.
