A few months ago I traded in my 3.7 screw on a 2013 FX2 with the 5.0 and 23k miles. After a month I noticed that it ticked at idle when warm on the passenger side, similar to videos I have seen on here but not near as loud. I decided to change the oil 1400 miles after I bought truck. I didn't know when it was last changed or what kind of mystery oil was in it. Analysis shows no abnormal wear. Currently the truck has motorcraft synthetic blend 5w-20 and liquimoly MOS2 in it, which quieted the tick some. Truck is dead smooth though, can't feel it running at all. I'll be changing that out this weekend at 4.5k miles and doing another analysis.

Interesting, keep the thread updated when you get your next analysis back.
