Famous 6.7 tick after oil change

[lincolnlocker]

mileage is awesome also

what model years show what gear your in like that? also, was that a mpg gain with the oil itself or with the deletes and tuner?

just need to hit the + button on your shifter

mine did it at idle. doesn't do it anymore but then again i haven't changed my oil again. i got my company trucks oil changed yesterday with Valvoline and no tick thanks for the info Sak.

Glad someone decided to listen to me.

Mike, I'll make a little bet with you, put the valvoline premium blue extreme 5w-40 in your truck, if the tick isn't gone in the first 1000 miles, I will send you $100 for the oil. If it goes away you hook me up even more on the intake kit.

We have 5 of them running the Rotella T5 10/30. No tick as of yet. The 2011 has 125,000 on it.

stupid question, when are you gus doing your first oil changes? i figured it would be best to do it early because of engine assembly lube, but doesnt seem like people do early changes.

Did my first at 5k and just did it again at 10k. But I'm anal like that.

My concern is It took me a year and a half to get to 10k so I'm wondering if its ok to keep the oil in it that long between changes. I have heard that 6 months regardless of miles it should be changed because the oil naturally breaks down?

And I'm using RP with no ticking.

 

[Spatel23]

I would change it every six months just for peace of mind.

 

[Dzchey21]

They say absolutely no longer than a year. I also say 6 months just for good measure

My first change was at 3500, next will be 7000 and will switch to schaeffers at 10k.

I love all these oil discussions.

I want to ask you guys one question....

How many of us on here have had an engine oil related failure or have seen one recently in the last 5 yrs? No matter brand. As long as the oil pan was full of oil....

 

[Corb@CorbinShipping]

I have yet to hear of even one... I just want this damn tick to go away...

I could not find the Valvoline Extreme 5w40, so I tried Rotella T6 5w40....

still ticking away....

Next change, Valvoline, and see if that holds up.... Gonna have to order it, apparently.... No one around me, or in my parts of NC stocks enough....

Ill answer my own question. The first one that comes to mind is "DAN" in the 6.7L section about the cfd turbo and rod bearing failure. But with a quick diagnostic I would venture to say "lack thereof" not quality.

When the 6.7 was first released there was stock engine failure there was several posted on the forums.
