    If there's glitter on the dipstick then that's a lot of glitter in the oil. Take it to the dealership.

    That's a '24? Awful lot of corrosion on the suspension.

    I didn’t get a picture. Does the noise sound normal?

    Maybe not corrosion and he just lives on a dirt/gravel road?

    Does it speed up when increasing RPMs? If it does, take it to the dealer.

    If not, then it is more than likely the direct injection.

    Clicks too fast on idling engine to be the main bearings. What @sudobash said, it sounds more like injectors chatter.

    Glitter is no good though.
     
    sudobash and raylo like this.
