Preface
- Factory fill drained at 1200 miles (no sample)
- M1 5W30 + FRAM Ultra XG73717 from 1200 mi to 3200 mi (no sample)
- M1 0W40 + Ford Racing FL820HD from 3200 mi to 5500 mi (2300 miles on oil, first used oil analysis, replaced fluid and filter with same 0W40 and Ford Racing FL820 filter)
Wanted to get an idea of how my engine was breaking in so after a year of ownership I got my first oil analysis before I likely end up tuning the car.
After the first oil change, the car would get the hot idle famous barbecue tick that sounds like pressing the ignitor button on a stovetop or grill and hearing that tickticktick like this YouTube video (NOT my car, it just sounds identical):
Most say it’s super common, and for whatever reason it’s always loudest after a fresh oil change (with it filled up to full line) and gradually quiets down over the coming months as more miles get put on the oil. Almost nobody has factory fill tick, which is high in both moly and boron, to no surprise that is what Ceratec has a lot in it which quiets the ticking in the cars.
Just wanted to make sure everything looked good a year in. I drive the car hard at times, but only when completely warmed up, glad to see no red flags in the report.
