BBQ Tick After Oil Change...

[usgiorgi]

That's exactly what my 16GT sounded like. It wasn't an exhaust leak. Started right after the 1st oil change. I also thought and hoped that it was an exhaust leak, but that wasn't the case.

Other examples:




Also, people have cured this noise as well as the rattle noise with ceratec. No oil additive will cure an exhaust leak as you obviously know.

I'll add in that CeraTec worked for me as well. Motorcraft Semi Synthetic 5w30. Fresh oil change without, it ticked just like the video above. Drained and refilled with one 300mL bottle of CeraTec, and tick is gone.

2015 with 68k miles.

Both clips you posted sound like the BBQ tick. The other posters clip sounds like an exhaust leak and nothing like the ones you posted. Maybe he can post another to compare before and after Ceratec.

Are you serious? They sound identical lol. Here's another tick example.

Yep, that's the typewriter tick.

Rod knock would indicate rod bearings with too much clearance.

Just performed my third oil change today...Had 9K miles or so on past interval and oil life indicator was at 1%. Fill was Mobile 1, 10w-30 + 1 bottle of ceratec. Before I changed the oil, it had been months since I heard the tick and engine was very quiet with the old fill. After changing to another round of Mobile 1, 10w-30, I fired the car up and the infamous tick was back almost instantly...weird. Added one bottle of Ceratec, while car was idling, and within a few seconds the engine tick was gone and also was just quieter overall. Amazing how well this stuff works,

Dirty oil can be "slicker" oil from the combustion blow-by. Even though it's not a diesel there is blow-by that dirties the oil and probably acts like soot in a diesel to make the oil lower friction.

Best to dirty up that oil right away with a bottle of slippery German Goo.

LoL ... or find a buddy who just did a low mileage diesel oil change and put his used (soot conditioned) oil in the Coyote.

If ford put their name over the ceratec bottle and supplied it to everyone that came in with the tick under warranty , this thread wouldn’t even exist , ceratec works simple as that

Ford use to have guys use this for the BBQ Tick ... which isn't made any more.

Well, it's not as crazy as the guy who put a tablespoon of carbon black facial make-up in his oil.

One thing I did find out that is somewhat positive. Ceratec not only has primarily hBn, but comes with a smidgen of Moly, and also an added dose of Calcium as a cleaning agent. I'm guessing it's to prevent the extra friction modifiers from sludging in the engine.

I found this out searching for others who had Blackstone do UOA's on regular used oil, then used oil with Ceratec after the next OCI to see what the difference was.

Cera Tec

Description
Micro ceramic solid lubricant suspension based on
hexagonal boron nitride (BN) in selected base
oils. The laminar graphite-similar structure reduces
friction and wear and prevents direct metal-to-metal
contact. The < 0.5 μm particle size guarantees optimum
filter flow properties and protects against depositing
of solid lubricant particles.
