knocking after oil change again
I have asked this question here before. Each time I change my oil I get a violent engine knocking sound for about 2 or 3 seconds after start up. It goes away immediately but this cannot be normal. It seems to only occur after an oil change. I have tried adding oil to the new filter before installation and that does nothing. Could I be doing something else wrong?

ok, so after you change the oil you get in the truck put the gas peddle to the floor and turn the key and the truck doesn't start......or am i reading that wrong....
and if i'm reading that right how many times do you turn the key until oil is up around the engin again...?????

Knocking and engines that won't start on first crank after an oil change?
These are issues with both trucks IMO. After I do a change I just poke my head in the cab as I'm standing outside beside the truck and simply turn the key once to fire it up. Starts right up and no knocks or funny sounds at all.
Do you still have warranty?
