Coming from owning an S197 I was all to familiar with the BBQ tick those 5.0s had and I think on my first oil change i got it on the S550.
Took it in this morning to change the oil after 2500 miles, went to full synthetic at the Ford dealership. After getting home i heard what i thought was a faint ticking, but shrugged it off thinking no way.
Started the car up later that day, had a semi cold start and it started ticking heavily. Sounded just like the S197 BBQ ticks we've all heard so much about.
What boggles me is i cant get it replicate under forward driving. When in neutral its hit or miss, but when in reverse and feathering the clutch up the hill into the driveway at about 1200 RPM its like a firecracker.
I took it back to the dealership just a few hours ago but couldn't replicate the issue at idle - only learned when coming back home that when the car is in reverse the problem is very evident.
its a 6 speed performance pack mustang GT with 2500 on the dash.
Any other people experiencing this? I find it very odd that it occurred right after the oil change.
