[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4014723, member: 3099"] How many miles are on the engine? What causes this is low oil pressure and at idle especially is when the wear on the pin in the phaser happens. It goes without saying to be diligent with oil changes. I also have a 3V Triton with 136k on it now. I bought it with 54k on it. Mine are still quiet as can be. The oil specified by Ford to meet CAFE standards are NOT what these engines need. Originally they spec'd 5W30 and then all the sudden they changed their minds and went to 5W20 for [B][I]"maximum performance and durability"[/I][/B]. The same engine sold in vehicles in Australia spec'd 10W30. I've been running 10W30 Amsoil synthetic for years in it. No issues yet. [/QUOTE]
