[QUOTE="ZX6Ray, post: 13442894, member: 147937"] Car is a 2011 GT500 w/ 170 thermostat, tune/pulley/exhaust 20K miles. I changed my oil 1k miles ago with amsoil EA011 filter and amsoil 10W-40 oil. I've always used amsoil in all my cars and motorcycles but for some reason when the oil is hot at idle I was getting a ticking under my drivers side wheel well, almost similar to an exhaust leak. That's what I though it was at first until I took a mechanics stethoscope to the #8 cylinder valve cover bolts. To my amazement, it was coming from the exhaust HLA. Before I decided to take it do the dealer [B]I bought a motorcraft oil filter and swapped it out and the ticking is now gone[/B] There was a K&N filter on the car when I bought it used before with no ticking noises whatsoever. As soon as I put the amsoil EA011 filter I noticed ticking after the oil was good and hot but did not think it was the filter at all. Now for those of you that won't run a motorcraft filter I have a used oil analysis with the K&N filter and showed insolubles at .3 % Anything under .6 % is sufficient filtering according to blackstone labs. Unleashed has a lot of explaining to do regarding this... I will always run amsoil but he also recommended the EA011 filter. Now I hope with the 1k miles I put on the car since that filter was in HOPEFULLY nothing was damaged. :( [/QUOTE]
