TICKING!!

TICKING!!
I'm new to the diesel world, so all advice or opinions would be appreciated. I've got an 2016 F250 Diesel 6.7 PowerStroke, which I bought fresh off the lot, and just got my regular oil change and tire rotation today, thru a local Ford Dealership. I'm working out of town, so I didn't take it to my home dealership as I have been every 5,000 miles since I drive a lot for work. As of today, I'm currently at 47,000 miles. Just to stay on top of things, any time I'm asked to get any type of extra additives, or filters needing to be changed, I do so. I don't like bad surprises when it comes to vehicles. So after getting my truck serviced today, and back to work, I notice a constant "Ticking" but do not know why. Thought maybe after running it all day at work, not literally all day, that it would go away. I took it in at 7:00am, and here I am at 9:30pm, and it still ticking. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I'm definitely going back to the dealership in the morning to question it, before I head home for Memorial wknd. But I don't want to get BS'd by a different dealership, trying to get more money out of me. So, please help!

Sorry for the late response guys, I'm working out in B.F.E. and internet was down. @Golfmedik, that's exactly where the "Ticking" was coming from. They explained to me that it was normal right after an oil change, and as of now, the tick is gone. I also asked the dealership how often should I come in for an oil change just to see if they tell me the same as my Home dealership. They told me every 7,500, and I explained to them, with all the driving that I do for work, I prefer to come in every 5,000. Is that ok or recommended? Sorry if these questions are a waste.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Different oils can add to the ticking issue, so that is why I wonder if you now have different oil from the previous change. I also fill the filter before installation so as not to push air thru the lifters. I don't know if the air causes ticking after the initial purge, but I do know that oil is better than air. I never had the ticking issue.
I use the oil life feature because of varied use throughout the year. Heavy towing brings the message on sooner. Just using miles will not account for varied use.
