2020 Mustang GT w/ Black Accent Pkg
I've got a 2020 GT I picked up a couple months ago with just under 28k (has 31k now) on the clock. I first noticed a constant, consistent, not intermittent tick not long after getting it. Its still present with just under 3k miles since the last oil change. Its clearly audible when the engine is cold and even after 15-20 minutes of normal driving, but disappears when the engine gets nice and hot from more spirited driving. I've been checking the oil dipstick almost weekly and the level is remaining adequate, even with my occasional spirited driving. Yall think its just a bad case of BBQ tick or something more sinister? (my uneducated, inexperienced thought is that I would be noticing problems by 31k miles if the car truly had a bad engine)

Thanks in advance for the input.
