Cold start clatter, whats normal?
Just wondering how much noise is normal on cold startup? When I start my '03 in the morning after it has sat all night it seems to make a lot of top end clatter for about 30 sec or so. When starting it warm or if it has been started recently it doesnt make any noise at all. The oil light goes out instantly upon startup maybe .5-1 sec. Im running rotella synthetic 5w-40 and the mobil 1 301 filter. And air temp doesnt seem to be much of a factor, seems about the same noise cold air or not. It seems more a product of sitting all night. Any thoughts? Do I need a heavier oil?
