 | Clacking on Cold Start I never had this problem before. Only 70K on my truck, and Im using fully synthetic motor oil. I just switched over to a Nissan Oil Filter, Ive been using Puraltor since I bought the truck and NEVER had this problem. The clacking goes away after about 6-10 seconds. What do you guys think -matt |

 | What type of syn oil? It sounds like it is not coating the engine parts, so you have to wait for the oil to circulate. I imagine this is going to cause some excessive wear. Has it done this before you went to syn oil?

| Mobil 1 Fully Syn. 10W-30...I used the same oil since I bought the truck, the only difference this time is that I changed to a Nissan Filter from a Puralator. Last winter was really really cold and it never clacked at all !! |

| Is it possible that a certain type of oil filter should not be used with syn oil  I also wonder if you could get a bad batch or oil... strange that it just started with the change and only when cold, really suggests the heads are not staying coated with oil.
