Noticed it after an oil change. oem Castro
ceratec seems toe quiet it down

Oil analysis was clean 3k ago and checked the filter and no metal
Exactly the same noise.

Mine makes no noise cold, and it starts making it around 170F and continues to get louder rising toward operating temp it seems.

Ripped it through canyons yesterday, still there. Drove the freeway back, still there.

Here’s a video (ignore the whine from the SC) https://youtube.com/shorts/zaCORCK1p...s-QJACt-J28ebx

i’m going drive it another 100 miles now. Part of me wants to dump the oil out like I did last time and switch to Castrol and move on and the other part of me wants to just keep driving it to see if it winds up going away.

The car runs absolutely perfectly and pulls like a freight train.. There was zero metal in the filter.
