Did the dealer use inferior or maybe the wrong oil?
1) The engine was pretty quiet off when my T4R was new from dealer lot.
2) After the first "free" dealer oil change, I noticed the engine was louder and making tapping noises during acceleration right after driving out of the dealer shop. The paperwork did list 0W-20 oil.
3) Skipped the 2nd "free" dealer oil change and changed the oil myself due to Covid. I used Mobil 1 0W-20 and the engine is quiet again. No more tapping noises. Even my wife noticed it seemed quieter without me telling I did an oil change.
Hopefully no major damage was done with the dealer oil and the engine noises.
