How old is your oil and what grade is it?

Might be worth checking to see if the exhaust/manifold is touching the sump at startup. I had this happen to my AU annoyed the heck out me, only ever happened at start up and not all start ups. Turns out when it had heat in it, it moved away from the sump. Might be something completely different to this but if it helps relieve some frustration then its worth it.

Mine had an odd knocking noise at cold start up when I was using a Z9 oil filter. Ever since I started using a Z89A (stubby Z9, about half the length) it hasn't been there. Btw I've found that mine actually runs better on Nulons 10w synthetic oil.

My non-XR8 AU V8 does a similar thing everytime I change the oil. Takes about a week and it stops doing it until the next time the oil is changes. When it was still in warranty I asked the dealer about it everytime I picked it up from the service and they just said it's within normal tolerences. As it's done it since 2002 I suppose it's not terminal.
I might try the Z89A trick next oil change though? (oil gets changed every 7500km) |

i forget wat filter i used was. But apparantly there are 2 different one. One for xr8 with oil coolers and one with out. ! is almost twice as big as the other. Now i have the shorter of the 2 on my 200kw and im not sure which one it is? But its the same size filter that was on it before and the noise has stopped?? Does any one know what filter i may have??

In layman's terms, the bigger the filter, the longer you can leave it in between changes (a bigger filtration area to collect crap). It might take a little more oil to keep the levels up, but unless it's protruding on exhaust pipes because of the extra size, it shouldn't be a problem. |

as a mech i can be sure that noise your hearing is your crank bearings not getting oil pressure as soon as they should, with ford engines make sure you use a good quality oil filter preferably genuine as they have a valve in them that prevents oil loss out of filter when engine is off. my 6cyl au did the same thing when i bought it and it had one of those cheap and nasty oil filters on it, changed oil and put genuine filter on and no more probs cheers..
