I've searched around and seen threads on this for the younger 4.0's regarding the VIAS but none for an engine this new.
Stats, 42,000 miles, new to me MT. Oil is top hole on the stick just changed it 5-20 Mobil 1 with a Bosch filter.
Symptoms: lifter sounding ticking faint but there when hot 2000-? Rpms (engine noise obscures it after about 3000) present with load or without, louder under than over motor with hood up, louder behind front wheels than in front. I don't have anything to use as a stethoscope.
Can totally replicate it, and has been there before I changed oil.
Previous oil changes were dealer, Dino oil was changed on time by me. Noticed it and now it's really bugging me. I'm light on throttle and just tooling around dropping off kids an stuff it's noticeable.
Thoughts?
