Oh come on, you deep down always wanted to be a ford guy and have a mustang too, you just didn't want the chevy group you were hanging with to know it.
It's all good brother. It's ok to want to be faster. Are we really sad they killed the Camaro. I mean a real chevy guy, like the ones i know...
Oh for sure, I'm sure they are doing it for the MPG credits. Upgraded oil pumps are in the normal pressure ranges. I'm not worried about it, it's only at idle, the moment rpm changes pressure increases into what I'd say is normal 30-100psi depending on throttle.
We had a 2011 GT, and I just don't remember it having such low oil pressure, I would of been surprised by it, I've had a ton of fox bodies and man 20psi oil pressure would of been a problem. LOL
The crazy part is, it has 100psi oil pressure on cold start at 50 degrees outside. Maybe they...
Perhaps it's because i don't wait that long, I do changes at 3000, or shorter if ive been running it hard, maybe 4000 if i were to do a GT style road trip or something. So I have never noticed the tick going away.
All i know is, I didn't have it before the first oil change, and now it does...
Agreed, I'm a 3000mile oil change, sometimes shorter 2000 miles, depending on how much i drag strip run it, or how hard i'm hitting the twisties.
The oil geek did a great video on oil additives, all they do is dilute the oil, and he tested most of them, with oil analysts and none of them were...
Crazy, the dealer here uses motorcraft syn oil, warmed up, about 19-20psi idle, everything feels normal with any rpm.
But I also have the random tick and boy is it annoying.
If you have the tick what is your warm idle oil pressure?
If you don't have the tick, what is your warm idle oil pressure.
Like full operational temp, like drive for 5-10 miles get it hot, what is your idle oil pressure.
Interesting, yeah I'm just tired of ppl asking "what's that tick"... lol such an odd thing to have to deal with. Like I have to explain oh no, "Ford" says it's normal.
There has to be something in the original factory oil that you don't get after the first oil change and short of a class...
Yes, I misspoke, I did not mean "cold" as in the first start of the day, I just meant startups and was thinking in start-stop use, thinner vs thicker oil. Too many thoughts was going on at once. Of course 5w-XX would be very near the same but not exactly the same, 5w20 at -30c will ever so...
