Noises problem
2004 Dodge Durango V8 All Wheel Drive Automatic 1000.0 miles

Why does my car make noises when i start it up? It sounds as if it was a deisel engine and its not. After its been on for about a minute you dont hear the noise any more. It sounds like the oil pump is not sending oil up fast enough. I changed the oil & filter and its still doind it. Please let me know if you can help.

Sounds as lifter draining over night
possible bad lifter (common ) or lifters
make sure you used the recommended oil for the engine
