Someone from Europe posted a picture of Castrol Magnatec here claiming it to be default dealer oil in Europe. I am just going to use it because percentage wise they mostly do not have bbq tick at USA scale.I used Castrol with the titanium technology. It helped to smooth out the motor a lot compared to mobil1. Which one are you referring to?
Myself I had the tick and switched between MC, Mobil1, Castrol Edge, pennzoil, Red Line in my attempts to get rid of the tick, but obviously nothing helped but ceratec.
I am not convincing anyone, but myself witnessed how non ticking engine started ticking right after the oil change. It was pretty much new oil (~100-200 miles old mc 5w20) into new red line 5w20 oil. I am not buying contaminated or shearing oil arguments here. Oil change process itself is the problem in my books. And yes, I know millions engines are going through oil changes with no issues. But we speak of Coyote specifically here and not of Honda civic engine oe some other engine. Not even all coyotes are prone to the tick. But mine is.
Could be that very short oil starvation in Coyote is enough to cause some minor damage that does not have long term issues per Ford, but does cause discomfort for me and other owners.
If you read marketing story of castrol magnatec, they claim oil sticks "like a magnet" everywhere, hence the name. Of course it is not magnetic literally, but might be protecting during oil change better than other "non sticking" oils.
