Call the dealership. My 1995 has a bulletin that calls for replacing the oil pump that Ford/Mazda screwed up, but the consumer has to pay for it. Also try www.alldata.com. You don't get any more life or power out of synthetic oils or chemicals. Also using too many additives to your engine, such as fuel injection cleaner, could damages engine parts, such as your fuel pressure regulator. The ticking noise is either insufficient oil to the top end or a leaking or stuck hydraulic lifter.
