I didn't go 10k miles, but I took my first oil change right to about 5% oil life on the onboard monitor (around 6000km) and then got my first oil change - full synthetic. No tick yet.Has anybody waited the full 10k miles for the first oil change as per the owner manual? I have a ‘21 and I am wondering if changing it prior could be the cause.
I followed the manufacturers suggestion vs. changing at 1k like a lot of people recommend. My gut theory on the tick is that there is some additives in the original oil to help with break-in. Time will tell. If you take a totally non-scientific approach and search this forum for 'tick' you'll find almost every post starts with someone who did their initial oil change after a very low mileage and now noticed the tick right on the 2nd or 3rd oil change.
