    So I think the dealer's oil is crappy. I know the weight is 5W-30, but the engine has has a startup rattle that started only about 1000 miles after they last changed it. Cutting them out now. :greenchainsaw:

    Time to go Amsoil... :patriot:

    Smell it, make sure there isn't gas in the oil

    Dealer oil is Motorcraft SynBlend. Nothing at all wrong with it IMO.

    Does the rattle go away after start up?
