When I change out the factory fill I will be switching to M1like I do with all my cars so I wonder if that will quiet them some.
It seems to be a result of which type oil filter you select over anything else. I tried a few varying brands of filters and after reading through a bunch of posts over at the BITOG forum I've been using a Fram Ultraguard with 5-30w Dexos 1 certified synthetic which has virtually eliminated the start up valve clatter.
