Help with P0024 "B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System

[Dinokill3.7]

Hi guys. This morning I noticed a CEL on my 2017 Mustang GT and the code is P0024.

One of the causes of this code is low oil on the engine. I checked my oil level and it was missing about half a quart of oil. The last time the oil was changed was on 5/8/23 at Ford Dealership.

While the CEL was on the car ran fine. Not issues starting/cranking the engine, smooth idling, no loss of power and no strange sounds coming from the engine.

I added half a quarter of oil and cleared the CEL and after 25 miles the engine light hasn't comeback.

The only engine modification is e85 Lund tune.

I did noticed that the Lund tune didn't add timing on moderate accelerations while the CEL was on but once it was cleared, it went back to normal.

Anyone has experienced with this code? I couldn't find much on Mustang6G, just one guy that damaged his engine because there was no oil.

No I'm wondering where the half a quart of oil went or if the dealer didn't put the whole 8 quarts of oil.

Thanks

Half a quart below minimum you mean? Should be half a liter.
I saw a Gen 1 with 1 liter missing (with the 8 liter metallic pan that was mounted back then), below minimum, and it's still going past 110.000Km.

I say don't worry about but check your oil level more often.
If the engine was severely starvated of oil you would have tripped the oil pressure sensor.

Aren't the cams controlled by phasers? Perhaps you have one that is overly sensitive to the oil level? Or perhaps it's collected some sludge or something and is getting sticky?
Since we don't know the mileage or maintenance history we can't really make a reasonable guess.
As for the oil level time doesn't really matter. How many miles are on this change? Perhaps you are using some? I know that if I don't do the oil change (very seldom) I always check the oil level before leaving the facility. That way you will know it wasn't shorted and you will actually be able to tell if you are using/burning any. You can't know if you don't have a known baseline. And assuming some random tech did it right is not a baseline.
