Hello,

When I drive my car in the a.m. it has been making a sound of metal scraping together, especially prominent when I accelerate up a hill.

When I go at faster speeds it is not as noticable. What could it be? I was planning on getting an oil change soon b/c my light just came on for that. Could it be low oil?

Thanks for your help.
