Engine noise and oil consumption after first oil change.

Szabo Mihaly said:

I just brought my 2019 raptor 2 month ago. A made 6000 km mostly on highway. Maybe 1000 city driving. I changed the oil and filter. Here in Romania the Mobile1 oil is not so good, so i decided to use Castrol 5w 30 fully synthetic Titanium FST. I think is almost the best for this grade made by Castrol. The oil filter was little difficult to find, but finally i get it from the local market, i don't remember the name but Amazon give it as same Motocraft.
Now: in a morning when i start the engine, is a small noise like a metallic something, i thought something is not tight under, some metals are there.. The noise is not loud at all but is there for 1-2 minutes after starting the cold engine.
The second is the high oil consumption. I just checked and after 1500 km the level was under the half on the stick. I added 0.75 l to be exactly on the level.
The truth is i am driving little hard now sometimes just to play, but not that much to damage. Before the oil change the consumption was almost the same but after 6000 km with light and grandma style driving.
Since i am on this forum my brain get crazy reading so many problems of this cars. I am afraid of big problems because i have no warranty here.
You guys think is a camphaser? Or how you call? Or just wrong oil? Thanks

You have two things:
1. Oil consumption - if you are down that much, you must have one of the faulty valve covers. There is a TSB which calls for new covers so that oil is no longer consumed.
2. Your description of sound is most likely cam phasers.

I am not sure how it works in Romania for service, but you can try the ford hotline to see how to address. I am not sure if a Ford buyback works being outside north America.

How can i check the valve cover? Where the oil is going? Should see some oil likage? Or the oil is burning?
But both two thinks happened after the oil change. If any of those issues i need to fix myself. No chance for warranty. I will need that time a real help from someone who knows. Or to find a repair manual.
I start to be sad ....

Did you mean SECONDS?

If you mean SECONDS, then the "cam phaser issue" could be the reason for the noise. Did you look on youtube for the noise? There are several videos that demonstrate the "cam phaser noise". Please check them out and compare.

If you mean minutes, then that would not be the "cam phaser issue" as the cam phaser issue lasts for about 2 seconds.

I would buy some motorcraft oil filters , the filter you may be using may not have a drainback valve. Keeps oil in upper part of engine when turned off. I would do that first . The castrol oil should be fine.
