So just realized I never got back to you guys post fix. Here are the sheets they gave me showing what they did.

Monday evening they called me and told me they believe they diagnosed what's going on with the car, and thankfully powertrain is going to cover it. Going off memory, I believe the advisor said the tech wants to replace two phasers and bolts, two solenoids, timing chain tensioners and chain, and...

Called them this morning after not receiving a call I was told Thursday night I would receive on Friday. My service advisor wasn't in today so I spoke with another and he told me it looks like they are going to have the car until the end of next week at least because the tech needs to do some...

The dealer still has the car. I guess the service writer went to a manager for a second opinion and she said that they were going to start up a comparable mustang on the lot to see if it makes the same noise. Might seem stupid but I remember on my 14 if I used anything but the motorcraft oil...

Hey guys, recently got a 16 GT. Currently kind of kicking myself. The car had a clean carfax, 43k miles, and the salesmen said they usually spend 1500 bucks to recondition used cars, but with this car, they only had to balance the tires. I didn't catch it on the test drive, must have not had the...

Might end up just doing what snake does oil wise with the 5w-30 since it is easier to come by. Amsoil actually has it in gallons, vs having to buy 12 pack cases of the single quarts for the 0-40 and 5-50. I've put over a thousand miles on the car with the 0-40 since I made this thread, and it...

Appreciate the info snake. I'm just glad the car sounds back normal.

Well, a small update. I went and got some Mobil 1 0-40 and put that in with the Motorcraft filter, and after driving to and from work, the tapping/snapping noise is already much better. I would imagine with a bit more time, it will probably stop all together. Update 2. Engine seems to be back...

Well ya, as far as I know, the track pack gt's and the normal ones, motor wise are exactly the same internally. The only bolt on difference would be the oil cooler that the TP's have, but that's it to my knowledge.

This is exactly the same as what I am hearing. Not my car, but what I am getting. Only happening when the car is warmed up and at idle. It's the slightly louder erratic snaps, or taps.

Yep, I drove the car to work and checked this morning when I got home to see if the level moved, and the dipstick was showing oil just about 2mm below the top fill line. So about half between the mid to top. If I was completely negligent and saw the oil was way down, I could see how oil level...

I put 8 in, and checked the oil. Was right at the upper fill line as near as I could tell. New oil can be hard to see on the dip stick sometimes. Either way, it is within the brackets.

Just bought the car in June, the car had 35k on it then, it has 42k now. It was quiet on whatever oil the dealer had used for it. They had the Motorcraft filter on it. Is there any reason to think that it could possibly go away with some time once the filter and oil break in a little? Because I...

Hey guys, I just recently got some Amsoil signature 5w-50 and the recommended Amsoil filter to go with it. After I got everything done, I ran up town about an hour later to get some errands out of the way, and as soon as I came to my first stop after the car had been completely warmed up I...
