noise when first starting car

when i first start my c5 i can hear a noise. that after a 15 seconds goes away. only thing i can think of is the oil isnt sticking to the motor so im getting dry starts. any other ideas? supposedly owner never put anything but mobil syn. in it. ive got paper work for most oil changes and thats accurate. ill pay more attention after i get out of work and post more on it.
 
Sounds to me that you need to increase the noise from the exhaust in order to drown out that engine noise.... :hehehe:
 
i like everyones solutions. just wanted to make sure it was normal because it stops after a short while. (ive got borla quad stingers so i only hear it at idle)
 
likewise. im glad you moved the sign today, otherwise i would have not seen it and missed the can-o-a$$. anyways, looking forward to hanging out with everyone sunday. until then cheers.

The initial start up rattle is normal as others have posted. A motor that runs tight doesn't develop as much HP as one that runs a bit looser......enjoy the death rattle and ride it baby!!!
