SLADsys:
I did an oil change about a month ago, and ever since then I've been having this rattle noise on cold startup and whenever the engine sits between 4-5 hours. Noise is very brief between 1 to 2 secs. Filter element was replaced, but noise persist. Though oil change was done with Mobil 1 5W-20, but I'm not sure again of the quality of this oil due to this issue. I'm now contemplating on draining out the oil.
1- Any advice on what oil to use?
2- Is there any damage that could have occurred during this period of 4 weeks of driving the vehicle with this rattle noise on startup?
3- Are there other likely cause apart from these suspect (oil)?

Vehicle is 2012 Toyota RAV4 I4 FWD.
engine is Toyota 2AR-FE (2.5L).

I just ran into your thread, coincidentally I opened a similar thread a few days ago cause I experienced this behavior from my car after an oil change.
My car also uses the same engine like yours.

How did you go about resolving this issue?

Read your manual properly. The 5w20 is a temporal oil where 0w20 is unavailable at due OCI but must be replaced with 0w20 at the next OCI.

So, it’s only a temporal measure but again, it’s your car & engine; do unto it what you like.

You are right,i have rechecked and confirmed 0w20 to be the right oil...Many thanks.

cardoctor:
@OP. I hope u r not choked up with all these suggestions. Adding mine may become an overload.

Please do,i m learning a lot here...thanks

[quote author=bravolad post=74511541][/quote]It is quite conflicting you know, 0w-20 is written on the engine cap,while on the manual that came with the car 5w-30 was stated as the appropriate oil for this particular engine.

I was using 0w-40 initially because I couldn't lay my hands on 0w-20.

Carry am come gimme, I go fix everything.

Engine needs to be split up

Not sure I want any kazeem ripping into the engine for the noise.it cld get worse...How i wish peeps like Gazzuzz are close by.

mayor2013:
Engine needs to be split up

Is there any effect detrimental to the engine if i continue to live with it?Car drives normal...

jarkbauer:
I dont think its up to 3secs. 3secs is very long.

Like 2 secs...Actually very brief.

mayor2013:
You were close to having an engine lock. Here is another question here for you. What viscosity of engine oil have you been using. Expect to have the following changed

1) timing chain
2) timing chain damper
3) camshaft sprocket
4)timing chain adjuster (upon inspection)
5) camshaft bearings( upon inspection)


Lastly I hope your engine is sludge free. Reason for the question, if otherwise that's more commitment of funds What engine type do you have in it

Engine type is 2.5L 4-cylinder 2AR-FE engine...I actually switched from the 0w-40 to the recommended 5w-30 oil type.

But the main culprit like I said earlier and upon inspection was using a wrong oil filter which was found to be disintegrated thereby causing a blockage leading to loss of oil pressure.

Thanks for your input.

HeavenlyBang:
Hmmm.
Does it come back when you rev? You could be dealing with rod knock.

It doesn't...Only on cold start in the morning.

GAZZUZZ:
when an engine looses oil pressure the first parts to suffer are the the parts at the top of the engine, camshaft, chain guides cam lobes etc. The next to follow are the crankshaft/bearings. As it is your engine narrowly survived a fatal engine freeze which would have been detrimental to your pocket. The design of the 2ar/2GR engines are awesome, oil flow/passages are over engineered, they provide protection over and beyond the call of duty.

Engine has suffered instant wear and tear that would have taken 5-10years to achieve by the actions that just happened. You can ignore the startup noise and engine will continue to serve without any further damage, or you can decide to rebuild the engine.

The options are yours.

Thanks for your response,What are cost implications to fix it?I don't stay in Lagos.

Connoisseur:
I have had mine for over two years; 2007 Toyota Avalon. I had a bump brush against the oil sump, the rattling sound comes on cold start and you won't hear it till the next morning.

Exactly how it behaves,so how is the performance of your car these past years?

Happy new year folks...

I recently did oil change for my a car,its a Toyota camry 2010 2.5L engine.Due to how busy i was during the service i didnt supervise.


I was driving days later when i saw oil lamp sign flashing on the dash board,i quickly pulled over and called my regular mechanic who inspected and discovered that the oil filter used was virtually disintegrated since it was small and was not appropriate hence blocking the flow of oil.

The filter was replaced with the right one and the flashing stopped.However,next day on cold start up i heard this rattling sound coming from the engine for like 2/3 seconds.Although car drives normal with no other issues.

How can it be fixed and what effect does it have on the engine?

NB:Sound only comes up on cold start.

CC:Gazzuzz,Ikenna351,others.

Please help.

He was once called the new Zinedine Zidane but never lived up to the expectation.

Same as Lukaku was called the new Drogba.

I urgently want to buy a new ps3,I checked at Spar in Port Harcourt but couldn't find.

I m a novice here and actually want to buy it for my kids.I m not interested in those ones that are hacked.

I learnt that Sony no longer makes ps3 again,does this mean I can't get a new one?

Emma Stone not on the list?

I can't call the number as it says number unreachable each time I call.You installed for me on April last year 2018.How do I go about resolving this?

Hi everyone,

Just incase anyone comes across a Toyota corolla 2004 model with number plates LX530EKY and chassis number: 2T1BR32E43C720548

Kindly call 08175986079 or 07063677230 as this vehicle was stolen with a lot of personal effects.

Why not provide where and when it was stolen? And other information such as car colour,trim etc

Why has her story changed?

I thought she said earlier that she wanted to just injure him so the father will spend money treating him this yuletide?

Now she's changing her story to sex in order to garner sympathy - a move always used by feminists to blackmail men to their own advantage.

Even if you had sex with him how does it concern the innocent child?

It won't work.




This evil descendant of Lamashtu should be hung by the nipples from a tree & a searing branding iron be inserted deep into her wide vagina till it hits her barren womb and left there to cool.

This should happen after her tongue has been nailed to her upper lip with 9 inch nails & both palms used in perpetrating this heinous act chopped off with an axe.

Adequate care must be taken to ensure that the concentrated Hydrochloric acid slowly dripping from its beaker is positioned directly over her eye to prevent spillage.

You are truly an adherent of evil Lucifer himself...Such gory details you described there gave me goose bumps.

jideofor11:
Well said. Statistically, there are leagues where there are lower outcomes of goals at HT. Based on those statistics is it proper to search for games using proper statistics. I tried that yesterday tho I didnt stake but I got a remarkable result. The question is. Do you take advantage of those leagues with low scoring abilities?

I ve noticed French ligue 2 is good in this market.

Someone was talking about Celtic earlier on this thread.I didn't know they were this inconsistent.

Ishilove:
She has visited not once but twice. This says a lot.

The difference between her expedition and the Christian missionary's is knowledge and preparation. She extensively studied their culture before venturing out to meet them. I can't say the same about the young man who got himself needlessly killed.

Jesus is Lord, but he also gave us brains.

The Christian missionary offered no coconut or any offering indicating he came in peace.

yuck!

That's the point that made me not to believe all these body double news. I remember vividly well when he arrived Nigeria after treatment in London how frail he was looking.

He could barely walk as he received by officials at the state house. it was obvious he was just recovering from a serious ailment.

These are figures for rent subsidy for police and not salary.

A car stolen in Oyo and recovered in Akwa Ibom, kudos to the detectives on getting this one right.

I hope those daredevil robbers are apprehended in due course.

standbic works too...
