15K miles and no ticking, knock on wood. It seems that a small percentage of the cars make the noise. If it were a design defect all of them would be hammering away. I think the OCI is a red herring. Without an analysis you're only guessing. Has anyone with the ticking done an oil analysis and noticed high metal counts or breakdown of the oil lubricating qualities?
