I'm going to go with one and see. It is an additive, so too little is better than too much when it comes to augmenting your spec'd oil. IMHO of course. The goal for me is to stop the tick and smooth things out. If one does that, I'm good both financially and otherwise. I know ideally you do...

Not sure what it sounds like outside on the rattle. With the windows down I get too much exhaust factor. The last two times I drove it, I let it warm up really well and haven't felt / heard it except very slightly. The tick is still very much alive and well. I think Ceratec is the next move...

Well for the last couple days I’ve been treating my car like it’s February in Michigan, when it’s actually August in Southern Indiana. But letting the car warm up before driving it seems to be helping the rattle. Probably going for a trans software update then will probably go with some Ceratec...

I'm a newb both to the forum and to Gen 6 Mustang ownership (had a 67 and 89). So I'm a long way from sticking a flag in the ground on most things. What I do know is that I wasn't on the original fill. It had what looked to be a sort of cheap oil filer on it, not the OEM Motorcraft. So at...

Just a thought because I include myself in this. Perhaps people don't go searching for "2K Engine Rattle" until they experience it out of the blue like I did and go "gee, I wonder if someone has a fix for this." Then they go "oh shit..." Like I have. It happened to me literally out of the...

The day you know what to listen for rivals the day you found out there is no Santa Claus. Sorry if that was a spoiler for anyone here...

My car has a Roush non-active exhaust that I pulled the baffles out of. I made my car substantially louder, not quieter. I did not "miss it" before. I have both, but I'd take the tick all day over the rattle. I've done nothing thus far, but it appears the tick can be mitigated completely on...

My thing is, how does this not happen when the car is new? Does the block grow differently at 8K miles now that the rattle just started? I can believe it's better for the car to warm up before getting on it. When a problem "develops" I call it a problem and not normal. It does seem to get...

I thought the tick was piston slap? Just getting up to speed on this, so forgive my ignorance. I've just got both the tick and the rattle post oil change, and trying to decide what to do. I've got hard shifts, (A10) mainly in sport mode, so I'm probably going to take it in for that to see if...

Do not use additives as they are unnecessary... unless we use it because we deem that it is necessary to stop a problem that we say is normal because a lot of cars get the problem. That about right?

It also “could” lead to stopping the tick that you folks were too cheap to engineer out. Still on the fence.

They are "unnecessary," as long as you are fine with an engine with 7,200 miles on it sounding like a 70's typewriter at idle.... As to "Karma" another poster mentioned... don't really buy into it, but if I did, I'd say it leans toward the working class schmuck trying to quiet his engine with a...

If you think you are having an 8,000 dollar engine failure and have used Ceratec, perhaps it might be worth it to do a 40 dollar oil change prior to taking it in. I'm on the fence right now. I didn't have the tick, then did an oil change, now I have it and the rattle just started yesterday...

Since the latest oil change, is the oil color still showing that discoloration? Also since oil change did the tick get louder again or is it staying more toward the quieter side? Just curious.

I'm debating as well and I see both sides. My question is simple. Are there any accounts where someone has used Ceratec, had engine trouble, and had Ford deny a warranty claim due to using it? If so, I'll stay away and live with the noise. If not, then this is 100% conjecture. What is fact...

"The Rattle" just started for me yesterday with about 7,200 miles on it. Totally out of the blue. Only the 3rd time my wife drove the car, so totally blaming her for cursing it. Seemed like it got better after it warmed up, but was still faintly there. Not sure about the RPMs but she did...

I bought a 2018 RS2 A10 with 5,700 miles on it, built in October of 17. Most of the time in normal drive mode it's smooth, my only issue is it wants to skyrocket to 10th gear and it feels like I'm driving a car with zero guts unless I really get into it. It holds the revs much better with the...

I'm looking at the two kit options. I have a Roush RS2 A10. The HP/Torque gains seem pretty similar, but with the Roush it seems it's all tune and CAI making the gains, because they don't add a throttle body like the FP one. I don't know if you could add a Bullitt TB to the Roush pack and get...

If you don't know, learn how to roll your clothing. Youtube some tips on packing. You can fit 4 pair of socks and two pair of underwear inside your shoes, then you can cover each shoe with an inside out pair of drawers and it all takes up the same amount of space you have to use for your shoes...

I assume everything is stock but haven’t really checked on the resonator. Interesting DIY for active but I’ll probably just drive it w/o the baffle plates for awhile and see what I think as a whole. If I think I need to quiet it more, I’ll probably just break out a hole saw and drill a hole in...
