I tried searching a bit but couldn't find what I was looking for. I have been googling the hell out of this issue and not coming up with any solid answers so figured I would ask you guys finally.
I have an 05 GT pushing 160k miles. It has basic bolt ins, cams, and intercooled Paxton 1200. The problems started after doing an oil change and putting in the first full synthetic oil the car has ever seen. I used 15000 mile 5w-30 Mobil 1 with a Mobil 1 oil filter. I drove the car around that night with no issue and drove it to work the next morning. I started it up to leave for lunch and noticed a pretty loud knocking/clunking noise under the car and I could feel it near my feet as well. It hasn't stopped since. It seems to go away after the car warms up, but it's tough to tell with the cams and the car being so loud.
I thought I might have put the intercooler piping back on too close to something it was knocking into, but there's enough clearance around everything. I read up some issues with oil filters so I swapped that with an OEM one with the same results.
Basically I'm hoping the full synthetic didn't mess anything up. Not quite sure where the knocking is coming from exactly but when I lifted the car and started it up, it's definitely sounds like it's on the bottom end of things.
Did I put the wrong weight in? Should I do another oil change with a different oil? Any input or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. If the motor is about to go, I don't mind hearing that either
Thanks in advance
