Ticking on initial cold start-up for a few seconds and then going away is different than ticking all the time, even with hot oil.
Ticking for a few seconds at start-up is a sign that the ADBV didn't keep oil in the oil galleries and filter. Ticking all the time indicates that there is a major lack of oil flow, or some mechanical problem inside the engine.
Does your car tick for a few seconds every time you do an initial start-up after an oil & filter change?
No it does not tick all the time, very rarely now that I started using OEM oil filters. And no it doesnt tick after an oil change, but with the Fram Ultra however, it did knock for about 5 seconds and the oil light stayed on longer. No noises with OEM oil filter after an oil change, light goes out in normal amount of time and engine is very quiet.
