2011 e350 5.4
Engine knocks real loud on startup for about 2 seconds then runs smooth. Any suggestions.
Thank you

Have you had it since new? Sorry, I should have asked that with my other question.

And using the correct weight oil? These engines typically are trouble free. Guessing, it sounds like it could be main bearing(s).

If you did an oil change then it is because the timing chain tensioner was not upto pressure. If the noise went away, don't worry. If the noise persists I would get it checked out.
I always have filled up my oil filters to reduce dry start problems. 225k and no chain noises ever.
