Thread: Rod-rattle at start up. Not a rod knock, but a rattle that goes away after starting

    Mine just sounds like **** most of the time. I should check the oil one day. Some days worse than others, it hasn't blown up and still gets good economy.

    I used to experience these rattles at cold start but after trying out a different oil filter using the same spec 5w30 oil, I stopped getting those weird startup noise. Interestingly, I figured out that this oil filter is the same being used with the jazz and is 25% taller than oem spec. It is manufactured by Bosch by the way.

    I totally agree!
    I installed the WIX / Filtron OP575 and no more rattle! It would be the same specs filter as you described.
    There is a thread about this:
