First UOA! 2018 Ford Edge 2.0 Ecoboost with 5w30 Pennzoil Platinum SN+ run to 11k miles (75% highway driving). Expected the oil to be in pretty bad shape (OLM went to 0% at 10k miles). (Oil ran from 40k to 51k odometer miles) From Blackstone Labs: "Your Ford Edge couldn't have asked for a...

I've had good success with Royal Purple HPS 10w40 in a Miata, although Redline 0w40 is also a popular choice. http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=126&pcid=21

UPDATE: Unfortunately the tick returned after a few hundred miles. So I gave in and filled it up with 15w40 Mobil Delvac. That reduced the ticking by 80% and is now barely audible! I make sure to let the engine warm up before driving off in these colder temps to be safe. My oil pressure is also...

The Rislone concentrated treatment is a 7.8 cSt viscosity at 100C (close to a 20 weight oil). I'm only using the 5w30 because of the cold winter temps here in Illinois and short trips not warming up the oil much. http://barsproducts.com/system/pdfs/401/original/4102%20Tech%20Sheet.pdf?1377268534

I've found Mobil and PP (and PYB) both made my 5.3L tick quite noticeably. Mobil Super HM with Rislone quieted things down for me (160K miles). I think these engines need a good oil cooler before using a more expensive oil (mine did not come with one from the factory).

Hello BITOG, I thought it would be helpful to pass on how I significantly reduced my lifter tick on my 2004 5.3L Tahoe. Here is the history (I picked it up with 160K miles, 1 owner): 0w40 Mobil and Purolator filter - First time I noticed ticking 5W30 Pennzoil PYB and Purolator - Ticking...

Pennzoil Yellow Bottle with a Purolator PL30001 change at 3K (twice a year). My Hemi runs quiet without any ticking.

2006 Corolla 68722 miles 5K OCI Pennzoil yellow bottle - 5w20 4.5 quarts Purolator PL14477

Royal Purple 10w40 might suit this engine well. It comes highly recommended from the Mazdaspeed Miata owners (1.8L turbo engines).

M1 AFE oils contain 150ppm less zinc and phosphorus than their non-AFE conterparts. If you are running your engine hard I would recommend going with the regular 5w20 M1 and its higher anti-wear additive package. http://www.mobiloil.com/usa-english/motoroil/files/mobil_1_product_guide.pdf

The large sump (8 quarts) should keep your oil temperatures at safe levels for street and drag use (pressure gauges and monitor those before going up in oil weight. 8 quarts of 5w20 is a lot of oil, either for longer OCIs or harder running. Here's an interesting picture of Royal Purple 5w20 in...

I would run any of the high mileage 5w30 oils available for a couple 3K oil changes to clean the engine out. You may want to try the Mobil 1 High Mileage oil if you do not have any oil leaks right now. Shorter OCIs will be the main factor in getting the engine cleaned up (if it's dirty). Do you...

Pennzoil YB - Low cost, great VOAs/high moly and keeps my Hemi quiet. Pennzoil Ultra - Great cleaning additives, longer OCI for my Corolla, runs quieter than M1. Mobil 0w40 - Quieter/easier engine starts, stable at high oil temps, good value for the money. All of these oils are Walmart cheap...

Pennzoil Ultra is a great oil and will keep your new engine clean. It made my Corolla 1ZZ-FE engine a little quieter on startup/idle. It's about $30 for a 5 quart Walmart jug. I have a lot of confidence with 5w20 oil. The only vehicle I used a heavier oil in was my turbo Audi (oil temp always...

A high moly oil like Pennzoil yellow bottle 5w20 might help. Hemi engines respond well with this oil (same/similar to the Mopar OEM oil) in trying to alleviate some valvetrain tick at idle. My truck is quiet so I plan to stick with what works.

Ran Mobil 0w40 in my turbo Audi 1.8T which consistently indicated 220-230 degrees Fahrenheit during summer driving in Texas.
