[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4235774, member: 15054"] Usually around 3000 miles or sometimes sooner on some engines I have you can hear a ticking when it first fires up then it goes away. If I change the oil and filter that sound no longer is there. Now this can be with a sideways mounted oil filter or a straight down oil filter. Does not matter the brand of filter as over the millions of miles I have put on vehicles it will happen with any filter. I hear vehicles that are not mine start all the time and many have the dreaded ticking on start up. Sometimes it will last for nearly a minute. Makes me cringe. Just something I notice. Does it matter? Well it does to me as I can't stand ticking from something I need to rely on. Probably why I never owned a diesel :) [/QUOTE]
