> What oil filter are you using?
This one is Penzoil PZ-34. I have used the same kind before, but
not in the last few changes.
In case i wasn't clear enough, it doesn't do it at each start, it
just did it when i first started it up after i filled it up with new
oil.
I did fill the filter with oil once before installing it. ("once"
meaning i poured oil in until it came to the top, but didn't keep
filling as the oil soaked into the filter.)
Pretty much my normal procedure. It might be that i usu get more
oil in the filter, but not drastically more.
The last oil change was done at the dealer, so it's possible that
the sound creeped up in 2 steps.
Thanks,
eric
