Dealer did 1st oil change at 3500 miles. Used semi-synthetic ford oil. So far, no ticking

@FrankAR15 ...... just changed the oil at 3000 miles on my 2024 Mustang GT. I used Motorcraft FULL synthetic 5W-30 and the Motorcraft oil filter. I had the tech prefill the oil filter with oil to soak the filter's filter media then add some more oil before installing it. I am now a 4000 miles with no "tic". Sadly I do have the R1080 auto transmission whine, so you win some you lose some!
That sucks. The whine is 10x worse than the tic imo. I wont buy another auto until thats fixed. Manual seems to happen less or not at all.

@Hawkeye ..... doesn't happen at all with the manual, at least not for the same reason. It is the straight cut gears for the auto transmission's fluid pump that make the noise. It is a bit annoying at low speeds where there is a wall like in a garage or a drive through and the sound reverberates but I don't hear it above 20 mph and I have a convertible. The boss (aka the wife) says it sounds a bit like a supercharger. I'll take that. A friend has one with the tic and that makes me nuts because it is erratic. LOL.
