So I tried Ceratec..

[Jackson1320]

That leads credence to the theory that the tick is really due to air bubbles that are getting caught/generated in the engine then. If I recall ceratek makes it harder for those to form. It also points to why its not really any big deal if there is a tick or not as some air small bubbles if they are being popped isn't going to lead to any damages since the oil is still coating where the bubbles had been. It would also impact why some people don't hear it at first, just after an oil change, or only hear it sometimes based on how much/placement of the oil residue.

Do you really think that you would hear air bubbles pop in the oil ? Do you think it would be loud enough to hear like the tick? I have my doubts. I would believe piston slap or cylinders out of round a tinny bit. But I can’t imagine oil bubbles being that loud.

Someone before posted a video/link about it, it's more that you're hearing resonance through the metals of it popping. If I remember its in the oil pump.

supposedly the older ford trucks had oil cavitation (bubbles) and would make similar noises if my memory serves me correctly.

Ok what about running a oil reservoir that is what they are designed to do. To keep air out of the oil. That is what I would try. Maybe it is air it just seams unlikely but you may be absolutely right

i have no idea. ceratek seems to work for me and the engine runs smooth and ceratek doesnt seem to cause any negative effects so ill prob just stick with that personally

if you're using a quart every 5000 miles I'd get that warrantied. My gen 2 uses a grand total of maybe .1 quart (if that) I measure everything that comes out.

This is not a Ford only problem I am finding out. It goes right up the line of cars. The common denominator, DOHC, the source is solid. Took my Mustang over to show him I was now a Ford driver.

Going to get a track day form his dealership. They handle some notable high end hardware. Few times a year put on a free track day invite the shop and customers out...... full day

Back to the point, without mentioning this worn out song, so many sing. I am quite comfortable with knowing what it is frankly.

He starts discussing customer warranty claims. And the how ridiculous expectations are of folks in general .

And up pops the BBQ tick, while I was LMAO . I mentioned the Mustang forum and the clatter that goes one here, he rolled his eyes.

Pretty damn funny ............... I say

Ford will laugh at you, they don't consider it a problem until its 1 litre every 750 miles.

I have a bottle waiting for my next oil change

maybe for a GT350, but this is a GT. 1 quart every 5k is stupid consumption.

Oh, I am not diagreeing with you. Its just what Ford states even for the Coyote.

A guy in the U.K. is using 830ml per 1000 miles and Ford won’t accept it’s a problem …

Glad I don't live in the UK with those friendly dealers

Acceptable consumption is mentionrd in user manual. If it is more than that Ford cannot deny.

I agree. Heck, I have 40k miles on my '15. Never have needed to add oil between changes. I might see a few ounces in my oil separator but not really enough to move it on the stick. I do oil changes at 5k. Maybe it has to do with the way the engines are broken in, or driving habits, etc.
