  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Annoying noise after oil change

My 2015 Ultimate AWD was silent since I got it (last fall) until I took it to the dealer for an oil change. Ever since then I hear a noise, very hard to describe, sorta like a ticking sound. This noise only happens during acceleration and stops after the car is driven 5-10 minutes. Depending on where you sit it sounds like it is coming from a different spot although I don't think this is coming from the sunroof area. Wondering what could have happened from the oil change? I know there are clips on the panels beneath the car that have to come off for an oil change. Maybe a clip wasn't put back properly? I dunno but it drives me nuts! Any thoughts?

Checking for a loose panel beneath the car would be my first step in resolving the source of the new noise . The clips that hold the panels in place can often break with removal.
 
The ticking noise is pressure building up in the oil filter. Since the design of the oil filter is upside down from any other regular car the oil pressure has to build up that's why its only heard at cold stars and goes away after driving 5-10 minutes.

Thanks and makes sense other then why wouldn't it have been doing this with the previous oil filter?

Some filters are designed to maintain that pressure. So more than likely you got a new filter that was not an exact replacement of your previous one
