Coyote tick driving me mad after recent

[Metz3020827]

Hey everyone.
Of course we all know about the 5.0 coyote bbq typewriter tick, whatever you want to call it.

well for the last two years I’ve been doing my own oil changes on the car, usually use Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 and the tick has subsided quite a bit. It’s still there but not crazy.

had a performance shop change my oil the other day while it was there bc it was close to due and I was feeling lazy. Plus it’s nice to report on carfax. Well the 5w-30 they used, it’s just tick tick ticking away and it’s very annoying to listen to.

Does the brand of oil really matter? I know that the coyote tick is nothing to write home about, as we know ford says it’s a normal function of the motor and it’s no cause for alarm but it’s just annoying to listen to.

Anyone else have it pretty bad? My car was like this when I used to run 5w-20 in the car when I first got it, but switched to 5w-30 since people suggested it wouldn’t be nearly as bad.

Can you hear the tick when your in the car and she's running ?

I've never listened to mine with the hood up and running. Kinda scares me that I'll hear it maybe. FWIW, Car sounds awesome from in the car with my MBRP Street Exhaust

I can hear it if the window is down yes. I have a full roush catback so it is really loud too. It usually fades after like 2k miles after an oil change.

Its definitely worse with certain brands of oil. Ceratec almost always gets rid of it with as little as half a bottle if you want to go that route. I just live with it personally, it joins the other 500 rattles and weird noises these motors make at low speed.

Definitely going back to my Pennzoil platinum after this change.
It’s so annoying to listen to with the windows down.

Im at 10k and can't hear anything unusual yet. There's the 2k rpm sound especially when engine is cold though.

Definitely Ceratec ! Used it for the first time in my 2018 along with the usual Pennzoil 5w30 and the tick is just ... gone .

After 2k miles, now I'm really curious.

It definitely fades after a while. It’s done it since I’ve owned the car has 62k miles now.

Put a bottle of Ceratic in for this oil change and it will go away.

I have a slight tick too. No tick until the engine gets hot. It is annoying, but it is what it is.
I had a Challenger RT with the Hemi, and that had the Hemi Tick which was a lot worse.
I will change to 5-30 on next oil change and see if that does anything.

I use Mobil 1 only and have never had a tick, lucky maybe, or maybe it's Maybeline

Yes the quality of the oil will make a difference. Ask what they put in it. This is one reason why I do my own oil change.

I'd bet they put 5W20 in it since that's what the fill cap says.
