Hi,

I have a rattle when cold but goes away pretty quickly in around 5 mins or less any known issues where to start?

Does not get louder when the car accelerates stays the same so unsure what the cause is? No warning lights present

Oil draining back overnight can cause a brief rattle on startup.

Wrong oil viscosity (too thick when cold) can delay lubrication.

Worn oil filter with poor anti-drainback valve.
