Default Hello all, I've got a 2012 Mustang GT auto tick at first oil change.

Hello everyone, I've got a 2012 mustang gt automatic that right at 1000 miles I changed the oil and now I've got a ticking sound once warmed up, It sounds like this click______click click click______click. When I increase the throttle the click goes faster between 1200 and 1400, it sounds just like all the videos.
Thanks ahead for any help.

I've figured out a short term cure that works 100 percent on removing the sound with a special blend.

You changed the oil way too early, and havent broken the car in enough. Drive it hard, and put in mobil 1 full sync.

As others have mentioned 1k miles is way too early for an oil change. Is the noise coming from the driver's side? If so there's a tsb out where they change out the timing chain tensioner, but I would wait until you at least had 5k miles so your engine has a chance to break-in more.

The tsb is only good for cars built on or before march 2011. This car was built sept 2011. Unless they made a mistake, none the less as previously mentioned Ive got no sounds now after using my special additive.

ahh used some of this eh?



if you don't get the reference its from this: http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=226570

guy added energy drink to his motorcycle's gas tank thinking NOS was some sort of octane booster because he watched fast and the furious.

I'm assuming the fast and the furious part anyway...

I'm also insinuating that any additives you used are as useful as NOS energy drink in your gas tank.
