I'm wondering if the piston scuffing is caused by flooding and washing out the cylinders? I took a video of this one before i pulled it didn't work out...I have a better phone(that cost more than my car) now so will record what the next one sounds like. I might replace one in a 2017 thats obnoxiously noisy just like this 2015 was. They both sound just like my old 2014 did, sounded almost like light lifter noise that'd go away under light throttle but was noisy under light load when driving or when ac kicked in.
I think the nut behind the wheel plays a major role. I know there are a few cars here that are bagged much harder than necessary, driving around in "sport" and flooring it everywhere 100% of the time may be a factor. Not so much in this car but in others with far less miles that I see treated like caca.
