I just put in Mobile 1 5w30, putting in the 6 quarts initially as many of you have said. I used the Motorcraft FL820s filter as Walmart didn't carry anything other than Frame. I have 5725 Miles on the car and was running my second change of Motorcraft 5w20 up until now.
I have been hearing a metal sounding head tick on the drivers side that first appearer at about 1500 miles. My build date on the car is April 03 which isn't suppose to have the head tick, but something was making noise.
Anyway, I switched to Mobile 1 5w30 today and started it up, guess what, no tick! The valvetrain is much quieter and the only noise I hear from the engine now is injector click as expected!
Any of you guys who have a minor tick in the engine after the TSB date that I understand is December of '02 back, this may just fix your problem.
so my first impression is :thumbsup:
