I had just changed my oil this morning on my 1997 Ford Ranger 2.3. I live in Tennessee and I have been using 5W20 for probably 2 years or so. This morning I used a different oil brand (probably has 0 relevance but I’m trying to troubleshoot) and changed my oil with the same filter I normally do and my engine had started making a strange ticking noise. I’m not sure if I’ve heard it before or not but I noticed it leaving the gym and was kind of worried. Would anyone have any idea as to what this would be and if I should be concerned/if I would be fine still driving? I’ve heard people in other forums with this noise driving tens of thousands and one guy almost 100,000 with the noise. Thank you in advance! There’s a couple of videos on YouTube about it but I’m new here and don’t know how to post a video of it.
