Just poor in the Ceratec when you get home after your oil change. It's not that much fluid at all.

i used ceratec last oil change. just change to MC 5w30. i keep listening for it. i think i hear it from time to time but doesnt seem to be steady. but also recently added cat deletes. so that may add some odd sounds too.

The oil life monitor will count down about 2% a week just sitting in the garage unless you disconnect the battery.

I occasionally have the tick. It's unquestionable when you hear it. It's not a case of "am I hearing the dreaded tick"?
First time was at work and I had remote started on a very cold day.
Walking up to my car I heard it before it registered what it was.
Since then I hear it on certain days after a cold start.
I've only got a bit over 3250 miles on it.
We did take it on a road trip last weekend and I put about 900 miles on it all told.
I had the first oil change about a week before we left...tick was there before the change BTW.
I'm not really too worried about it. It's not there most of the time.
On putting the Ceratec in...which I may try...with a 10 quart oil capacity shouldn't it take almost 2 bottles?

FWIW .... 2016, 105,000 miles, Whipple supercharged... has "ticked" since 5,000 miles or so... always when cold, and occasionally when warm. Hear it the most when cold, mild throttle and a freeway wall along side, or something to reflect the sound back into the car. I drive the wheels off the car, do my own maintenance and have always run Royal Purple 5w20.... Track weekend in a few weeks, fresh fluid will be 5w30... have never used other additives, and the tick has always just "been there" ...
