2009 F150 knocks when starting

Just got this truck about a week ago. Twice now when starting it it's making a knocking noise for 30 seconds or so and stops. Any ideas please?

Assuming you've checked the oil level ...

Check the brand of the oil filter. If it's anything other than Motorcraft, replace it.

BTW ...

HINT/TIP: Regarding your, "2009 F150" ... Put your complete vehicle information (year, model, cab, trim, engine, wheelbase, _x4 drive, mileage, etc., etc., etc.) in your signature -OR- provide it in your posting(s).

Good morning,

There are three different engines offered for 2010, knowing which one would help us out a lot. If you have the 4.6l, we need to know if it is 2V or 3V.

Change the motor oil and put a new MOTOCRAFT filter. They have an "anti drain back" valve inside to maintain oil in the passage ways after shutdown.
