I only got this startup noise after my first oil change. I did the change myself with Mobil 1 EP and a Ford Motorcraft oil filter. I know that alot of people had bad problems with lots of cars with some fram oil filters with back bypass valves. Also the mobil 1 runs on the thin side. Ive been using that stuff for years and years though. Im going to try thicker oil and a mopar filter next change. Who knows right? We had a ford escort that used to tick like crazy with a FRAM oil filter on it. Google search fram and dry startup.

The DH factory Regional Rep said that even though the OM and filler cap both states 5W30 DH is indeed recommending 5W20 for dealer oil changes. He told me this during the problem review process. I told him I was concerned that the dealer installed lighter oil than the OM and cap recommended. I myself feel better with 10W40 but he said that’s wasting money in oil and poorer gas mileage. Like you said "who knows"

UPDATE: It's at the dealer now so far they have taken off the drivers side valve cover, which meant dismantling most other accessories on the drivers side too, like the power brake booster, battery, etc. Now I am a little worried, read below to see why...............

You already know pretty much what you're dealing with as far as the shop thing. Like the hospital operating on the wrong leg. It's just real scary that they are removing the top off your brad new engine and removing accessories and disconnecting a bunch of stuff etc. To believe that all will go back together just like the factory may be a stretch.
Good luck and keep us posted. Are you driving a 6.1 Hemi Rental? Hmmmm

nope, sure aren't. First it was a 2007 Trailblazer, not a bad truck at all. But since it's been past 5 days (DC warranty authorization for rentals) I am now driving one of the dealer loaners, an 05 Dodge Shadow. What a POS it is, my Craftsman lawn tractor runs smoother.........
