Hey Guys,
I was a bit curious about the BBQ tick. I have a 2018 GT that has 14k miles on it..... the car has pretty much always had the BBQ tick around to it. The tick is very mild and quiet on a cold start and seems ok. With this car, it always sounds HORRIBLE on a warm start, the tick is CRAZY. Today I wanted to confirm and ask you guys if the BBQ tick is always worse after an oil change? I just had a normal service done at my dealership, which included and oil change and I feel like it's ticking more than it ever has before. Unrelated but this 2018 also has the 2k rattle as well.
Please listen to the attached video. You can see how loud it is and I'm not even near the engine bay. I've obviously created the worst circumstances for the noise.... indoors so the sound can radiate and this is on a WARM start where it was already at it's worst.
Does this seem like the "normal" tick to you... or worse? Also my dealer is sort of going crazy with the oil as well... this time they used 5W-20 but on the sticker for next time it says 5W-30. Any idea why they would be changing it around other than a mistake?
Thank you and appreciate your feedback!
