I actually use Shell/Rotella, full-synthetic 5w-40 in my 2016 GT during the seven warm months of the year.

It is a very, very good oil with a great anit-wear package, but I didn't immediately recommend it because most people poo-poo it because it is a "diesel" oil and peeps think it's too "thick". Nonsense. I won't go into the all the reasons why (no cats) I believe it is a superior oil, which is why I recommend the Pennzoil Ultra 5w-30 which I use during the five months of winter.

My 2016 sounded identical. BBQ tick, typewriter tick many different names. I brought it in and the service people "couldn't hear anything".

Im bringing mine in an hour early and letting it cool off before I show them. I also found out if you slowly rev the engine to 1000rpm while cold youll get the loudest possible noise from the tick so you can catch it on video

Might as well get it documented but it's already got a TSB and considered normal. They aren't going to do anything.

Alright. Yes I bought it just last month. Anyone have any ticking issues with their car?

lmao.. Just several hundred of us.

Amsoil 0w30 ~5000 miles on that oil, 15k miles total. 95% on e85 and I hit 7500 rpm like 10 times a day.

It's not piston slap.

It's either oil flashing in the pan from rapid pressure changes, or IMO... it's lazy Lash Adjusters from lower oil pressure at lower RPM ranges up to about 3k. Either is not really harmful to the engine.

A can of Ceratec will subdue most of that noise. I use only 1/2 a can per oil change, and my typewriter ticking engine runs smooth as butter.

how many miles did you lose the 1.5 quarts? I had a similar Blackstone report, and outlined I’d lost 3 quarts over the 5k miles. Ford is now tracking my oil usage.
