CT5-V .

Sounds like lifters ticking. Either that or you have a slight miss.

I believe the BW's call for Dexos 2 motor oil. The CT5-V BW require 10 quarts !

Been discussed, some use 10, some use 9. My 22 is a 9qt.

Nope, was much louder. Thinking maybe improper oil or something from dealer that sold it to me.

What does the filter pleats look like? Have you checked yet?

Not yet, have to gather filter and oil and get it done this weekend.

Just spent 30 mins searching what oil I could buy locally, looks like Mobil 1 European 0w40, but not sure if that is dexos ii rated, mobil website is clear as mud

as clear as motor oil, you might say

I just ended up ordering the super car 0W-40 from Walmart and it'll be here Thursday, nobody nearby had this formula and the European stuff didn't seem to meet the proper standard.

Get up on that stick girl!

Just changed the oil in the '24 5BW. Took 9 quarts of 0w40 Supercar. Oil level shows just below middle on the dipstick after sitting for 10 minutes after engine is at temp.

I concur that it sounds like a lifter, which is probably good news (compared to a spun bearing). And it's very likely that a correct oil change will fix it. If not, hey, it's under warranty, and won't require a total tear-down or engine replacement.

I believe that I got my special Euro-whatever Mobil one from Amazon. I don't do Wal-Mart.

Walmart sells almost as much stuff as Amazon, same Super Car formula, but could get it here more quickly.

This has been discussed before, but isn't "Euro" the wrong stuff? I know they changed the name, only adding to all the confusion, but I thought it was "ESP", later changed to "Supercar"? It has to have "Dexos" on the label.

Yes, European is not dexos 2, but ESP or SuperCar, they need a new marketing team at Mobil

You sure it's not the evap purge regulator clicking? They are up by the throttlebody, will intermittently click at idle, and can be unnervingly loud.

Ah yes, I believe that you are correct, it is ESP. I just knew that I couldn't find it at a decent price, or in stock, at the usual places, so I ordered it through Amazon.

 

[F1Scamp]

The evap purge regulator is literally next to the map sensor you took a picture of ..

 

[F1Scamp]

It would definitely be a loud one, but it wouldn't surprise me. Next time it happens put your hand on it and see if it goes with the rhythm of the noise. It's the only thing that would be that intermittent in my mind.
