Hmm I run motocraft in all my Fords. Had a buddy who went through nightmare with a 6.0 diesel after he changed the earl. Thousands at the dealer nobody could figure it out. It was the puralator oil filter. There's an oil filter test on here (KZread) where dude actually cuts them open. The results will shock you. They all aren't the same like I use to think.

I used some of the shitload of forpass owner rewards points I had and got a couple cases of motorcraft full synthetic. Only comes in single quarts.

I switched to 5w-30 when my 15 GTPP developed a tick, even before its first oil change. Even after 16k miles later, I never heard it again. Figured if its good enough for my TT Explorer Sport, more so on a n/a 5.0. Piston slap is a consistent tapping...tick is intermittent, 2 different things. Slap is normal for these motors due to the cylinder lining process used by Ford...the tick however, is not. As long as it isn't too late, using 30 weight oil should alleviate the issue IMHO.

Thanks, mate. Really informative. Been working my ass off through this crappy year to keep up with my goals of buying a GT the beginning of this summer and am really looking forward to doing routine maintenance myself. liked and subscribed.

I switched to Amsoil(10W30racing--no winter driving)...amazing oil. I noticed a difference right away. I put their trans oil in my T56 Magnum too...shifting has never been smoother!

So does Lucas oil stabilizer

I'm in Australia and have a 2017 GT, therefore the engine tick issue is not a problem as the 2015-2017 coyote motors have cylinder sleeves. Regarding the engine oil viscosity, the Ford dealers here use 5w20 but if you go to any auto parts store, the recommended oil is actually 5w30 not 5w20. I have visited all our major auto parts retailers and every one of them shows 5w30 as the recommended oil. The recommended service interval by Ford here is 15,000 kms, but i am doing intermediate services at around 7,000kms and taking it to Ford for the normal service interval as we also have a capped price service deal.

You HAVE to use the recommended weight oil. I consulted with an Engine builder who builds race engines for a living, on these and the 4.6 , the tolerances are so close, to thick and oil will not flow as should. Plus, the oil is the bearing in some areas of the engines. He had rebuilt several engines because people thought they were doing good to run heavier oil and that caused the problems.

Go to a different mechanic the one your explaining is a fucking idiot. As he states, in the manual it says to use 5/30 when driving aggressive or on a track. 5/20 is so the car gets better fuel mileage and less emissions. That’s the only reason

Generally an oil filter only needs about 3/4 of a turn. Tighten till it starts to bite then roughly 1/2-3/4 of a turn. It doesn't need 1 or 2 turns.

Just subscribed! Like your stuff. The ford dealer here in VA tells me the 5w20 is mainly used because it’s easier to meet emissions regulations. I’ve switched to 5w30 and haven’t noticed a loss in gas mileage or performance.

The current motor is basically a upgraded BOSS (Roadrunner) which took 5w50. The 2011-14 Track Pack (today is Performance Pack), took 5w50 and so did the 2012-14 GT500 and 2011-2014 GT350. They all had upgraded cooling, and internals, except the old Track Pack which lacked the internals but had the cooling. Ford should use the 5w50 or a 10w50 in it in climat s where it rarely goes below 35 F and other areas 0-5w40. They currently use the same damn oil nationwide, which is all because of your EPA for mpg ratings. The first oil has a high zink content to assist in break in. After 500 miles, change to a oil with lower or no zink. If your going to get on it past 5000 rpm at least 5-7x a day or more, I'd go with the 50 viscosity. It is a no brained. Fyi, oils don't have weights, it is viscosity. The first number is the cold air temp for a thinner easier cold start, but if your not in below freezing (32*) hardly but a a week or two a year goto a 10w40 or 50. It will not affect power or performance, just mpg's will go down a bit. Also, Fords oils show a 8-10 point drop in viscosity after 1100-1300 miles after wash change. Another good resale. To upgrade it at least to a 5w30.

I plan on buying a 2020 Mustang Gt. I don’t have a heavy foot and will only use it on my weekends. Should i stick with MobilOne full synthetic 5w20?

I have a 2020 GT PP1 that has both direct injection and port injection that Ford went to in 2018. This sort of eliminated the need for the catch can that many of us had on the earlier mustangs. In regards to the engine tick thing, I’ve noticed it when I first start the engine but in seems to go away after the engine warms up. I also went from 5W-20 to 5W-30 because I tend to challenge the backloads that have the hills and tight corners while in Sport + mode. I know some folks claim the engine tick when away when going to a higher viscosity oil but I did not notice any change going from 20 to 30. I have actually blamed the tick on the 32 valve overhead cam system as it sounded similar to what I heard with vehicles I had with solid lifters that I had to adjust occasionally. There seems to be a lot of mystery regarding the issue, if it is one, and piston slap is probably the best explanation, but I’m not losing any sleep over it.

I loved doing my own oil changes, but these days, I let the dealer do them to avoid any hassle. The issue with the tick is that there seems to be no single identifiable root cause yet. Or there might be multiple causes. Also, Ford is pretty silent about it and their techs are all over the place in terms of diagnosis. In some cases, it doesn't seem to cause any real damage and in others, cylinder scoring shows up and metal particles are seen in the oil.

I think you are completely correct in choosing 5 W 30 weight motor oil. The people that are using 5w 50 weight motor oil scare me. I think that is too heavy of a weight of oil. I had a 4.6 L Mustang and you had to run the oil weight that Ford told you to. The people that were running heavier weight oils in those engines ruin the top end. When Ford made the clearances for oil when it got too thick it couldn't get to the top end and destroy itself. I worked at a Ford dealership and we saw many 4.6 L V8 get destroyed because of the oil weight that was used. I'm just afraid running a 5w 50 might do the same to these new coyote engines.

What is your opinion of Ultra Platinum v. Platinum Pennzoil?

I noticed that you didn't check the stick after running the engine. You need to do that because after it fills the filter all the way the level could reduce to at or below the 1qt low line, especially if you only filled 9.5 quarts (hence why the oil was in the middle of the safe zone (half quart low) vs at the full line) before you even started the engine.

Just trying to share as much information as possible regarding the BBQ Tick. Replacing motors/short blocks, etc., doesn't help, as the sound comes back after the repair/replacement because it's a design flaw. Until it's rectified, there is no fix in the pipeline. It is an enigma, as It appears that some owners don't get the tick until higher mileage or maybe not at all, and that may be due to them not knowing much about engines and the sounds that are normal opposed to abnormal. But, many have it right off the lot like myself or after the 1st oil change, as did a few of my friends who just did their 1st oil changes on their 19's and the tick started immediately after that. We were told that Ford puts an additive in the engine to curtail the tick prior to sale. That would explain why many owners hear it directly after the 1st oil change. Good luck with your Stang!

Ford only puts Motorcraft 5W-20. Thats It! No additive.

I would know... Only oil goes in, Motorcraft 5W-20.

Got my 19 GT with 12k miles and had the tick sound I thought it was piston slap immediately so I took it to Ford and they later told me it was “normal for 2018-2019 mustangs” coming directly from the main Ford company 🤷🏻‍♂️ I am running 5w-20 but the drain plug started leaking so I ordered a Billet drain plug and for my next change I’ll be switching to 5w-30

I take that flap off it just gets soaked with oil from the filter anyway. Two little bolts is all it takes. Should check your oil again after start up bet it’s down even more. Those oil filters really soak up the oil even when you fill them before hand.

My 2014 GT premium asks for 05w50 do to the premium Package. Be careful from the dealer, if you don’t actually see them put the oil in, they will place a cheaper lower oil in the engine, my engine. Three time they place 05w20(2), 05w30(1) on my engine that requires the 05w50. Shady bastard, fare warning to all followers, watch the dealership during your oil changes to make sure there putting in the right oil in your vehicles and i was paying premium, they will not order the 05w50 at the dealer cause of the cause and 9quarts. Make sure you see the bottle when empty. Foo for thought to all mustangs owner, the dealer is not your friend, they will screw u , if they feel that they can get away with it. Glad you got your stand back. Looking great.

Why would having sync and leather seats and better stereo have anything to do with engine oil used? Premium or base should have nothing to do with what kind of oil you use lol...id be weary of any dealer that tells you that

Funny how ford flipped on the oil weights for 22-23. My 22 gt calls for 5w-30 for normal use and and 5w-20 for track use. Makes me wonder if they actually changed something like the piston rings.

My 2018 also had a typewriter random tick at cold start, when warmed up it went away. Got rid of the 5W-20 Motorcraft oil put in Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 and tick is completely gone.

Except that I just did that exact thing with PUP 5W30 at 1300 miles and now the tick is not only still there but now there is a slight rattle when you slightly rev the engine. Only when it's still cold. When its fully warmed up it goes away.

So ican use 5w 30 full synthetic if i drive my 19gt like once every 3 weeks i dont drive it hard at all

Is it the same procedure for a 2021 GT?

Try castrol edge 5w30 next time.y triton 3 value loves it.

I'm a nervous wreck every time i change the oil in my mustang. I dont trust the jack stands. I leave the floor jack under it too for extra support.. I NEVER would do a header job on jack stands like you have. Scares the piss out of me being under my car on stands for some reason. Still running 5w20 mobil 1 syn EP here in my 2012 to get back on topic with 54,000 miles. Mid 11 car, bolt on, NA.

Yes wood blocks or bricks put that under the tyres. Make sure the transmission is in P and the hand brake is pulled. You will also need wheel chocks so that is 3 things to stop your car rolling back. Make sure you do it on flat surface too.

You guy's have it easy with changing the oil filter...the right hand drive ones have no room because of the right hook rack.

U have to remove the car from jack before close the oil plug and filter , because some oil in the back of the engine, u left it only from front, should be level. Good luck

That will be old oil right? So how do you keep the tray under so it doesn't spill all over haha? Is it a lot of oil left if you do it this way?
