i quess it's my car.
What was your build date? The odds of it being the actual tick issue is much greater if it was built before 12/02.
Yes Elmo that is a characteristic. On my 04, if you drive it for a while then shut it off and restart it about 20 minutes later, the TICK is REALLy loud.

I actually put Royal Purple 5w-30 Synthetic oil in the car and it dampened the tick noise big time. It used to be super apparent. Now, i can only here it cruising in a tunnel or next to a wall or something.
P.S. That oil is extremely expensive.

Mobil 1 SuperSyn quieted down mine a little as well.

Elmo, I have the 5 W 30, the 20 weight is just to thin of an oil for these engines.
that what i was thinking too .on the bottle it say's it's recomened for honda's and ford's that call for 5-20.i'll try the 5-30 today and see what happen's.i only have about 2000 mile's on my last oil change when i swithed to the 0-20w.
