Thanks guys. So nothing to worry about or worth mentioning when I take to the dealer for the first oil change?

If you’re not getting any error messages, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Hopefully she doesn't read this (not the cat - she is illiterate) or else the next post on here will be from her, informing you of my obituary.

I should clarify, my wife is quite a tall woman (~6 feet) and manages to lie diagonally across our bed in a way which makes it extremely difficult to get in, and the cat seems to both occupy, and vigorously defend, the small remaining space available to me.
My wifes is 6ft too.


Tall wife club.

Hi Everyone. I have a 23MY Ranger 3K Miles on it. I have had an odd sound the past week or so on the cold start up in the morning. The engine fires up but then about 25 seconds in I hear this screech sound, it goes away then comes up again in 15 seconds if I haven't went into gear. Once I do, (R) it goes away. Any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks!
I have a 2020. Mine does he exact same thing.. usually no more than twice before it idles down. A chirp and then another around 20 seconds later (Only 1st thing in the morning) now I have a ticking noise getting worse. I’m hoping it’s just the belt tensioner.
