Please sweet baby Jesus don't let this turn into another oil debate.

I know it's pricey but so are the motors. I'm not sure why, just read that a lot of people had heard ticking noises after going to a different oil. I could careless what oil people are running, was just curious.

Not sure if this has anyting to do with the noise but when the service tech started up my car after the oil change it would not start. It took a few times for the engine to turn over. Once it started up everything seemed fine.
Please keep me updated, treborwd22.

Out of curiosity, what was the diagnosis?
Final outcome?

Every 5.0 that has rolled off the line will tick at some point or another.
