I have a 2016 with 7k miles on it, a few times i do get that lifter tick upon 1st start up of a day.
I dont even think its broken in yet!
It was my buddy from works lease return, i dont put many miles on either.
Should i try 0w30 or 5w30? I only put 2k on it since march when i bought it, no idea what the dealer put in.
First you need to find out if it is lifter tick or exhaust tick. If it is lifter tick, then you can try a lubrication strategy, look at the thread in my sig about quieting hemi tick. 5w30 redline seams to be the best chance at killing ticks, but high molybdenum oils have a good shot, and high moly additives have some success. Try some different things and oil filters as well, see my oil filter thread as well. the large RP filter seams to be good as well, part number 20-820.
