DING!
How recently? How hard have you been driving it? You did have a bad thermostat
at some point not all that long ago didn't you? I seem to remember that.
I'd guess your carboned up rings are starting to let go of the carbon resulting
in them seating badly as the carbon comes off unevenly. In which case the
solution is to drive it like you stole it and keep shorter oil change intervals
until it clears up.

It's the 2.5 non-turbo.
I recently switched to Mobil 1 15/50.
Haven't checked the crankcase breather. Could that being clogged cause this?
For some time, it has made a ticking at idle and at cruising. Lately, I have
suspected it has been more noticeable at cruising.
Odometer stopped at 279k mi. I reckon it's up around 300k now.
