[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 15762608, member: 112023"] I understand how a tapping noise will make you worried as if your engine is going to die tomorrow. Truthfully, I wouldn't use 5W-50 in a NA Coyote (not even the track pack version) if it was used solely on the street. Here is my guess as to what happened. It's unlikely to be a bad oil filter, as stated before, however not impossible. My guess, your engine just doesn't like 5W-50. I know, "but that's what Ford recommends." Still, I just wouldn't. I remember my 2014 premium GT (non-TP car) had Amsoil 5W-20 in it with the EaO17. I beat that car to DEATH racing on the street and track. After too many 40 mph street rolls to count, and 30+ 1/8 mile passes with a 7.5 second time slip it was time to sample the oil. After 10K miles, I took an oil sample. You should have seen the smile on my face. Conclusion, lowering the viscosity of the lubricant in your engine likely corrected the issue. I would have lowered it more. You have NO idea how hard this made me laugh. Thank you for that. ;) [/QUOTE]
