Noisy engine

[VeryGoodDriver]

Just picked up a 2023 Nautilus with the 2.0L turbo and I gotta say, this engine is a bit louder than I was expecting. My last Lincolns, an MKS and an MKX, had the 3.7L V6s and they were practically silent. I know I'm comparing different engines, but this 4-cylinder seems a bit noisier. Anyone else notice this with their Nautilus? It's not a big deal, but it's definitely something I've been paying attention to. I had the first oil change at 5k miles, maybe that'll help a bit.

I think you should stop comparing it with your previous Lincolns. Their engines are quite different.
I don't know what noise are you talking about. I haven't noticed any weird one on mine.
Take it to your dealer and let him have an opinion about it.

Sometimes, it also depends on what type of oil you're using. Are you using synthetic oil?

It’s not obnoxious, but it does make you more aware of the engine working, especially under acceleration. I’ve found that higher-quality fuel and regular oil changes seem to smooth it out a little. It’s just a trade-off for the better fuel economy and torque over the old V6.

@Mirrage&Charge20 is right! You will really notice that there is a different sonic experience compared to your previous vehicles. Plus this should be an issue in getting the latest model.
