On first start, there is a rattle that goes away after the oil has circulated throughout the engine?

When I start the car first thing there is a 10 second rattle then it’s gone once the oil is circulating.

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. It sounds like the oil needs to be changed, which is what I would do first and use a heavier weight oil than usual.
