I have a question regarding cartridge oil filters. I have one on my toyota corolla. Does a cartridge filter setup have an anti drainback valve?

2009 Toyota corolla. Reason I ask, cause at times when I start the car in the morning, I get a chatter for a few seconds. Not sure if its a timing chain tension or an oil related issue. If I turn the key to turn the engine over, but not start it, then start it it doesn't happen.

Yep, the new 1.8L Corollas have a cartridge setup. I hope it's not as bad a PITA as the one on my wife's Avalon.
 
From what I've seen they did not improve the filter over the 1ZZFE which is one of the easiest setups in the world.

It is more work and make sure you get the o-rings correct or you WILL have issues.

Since you are running syn you should have no problems (as if you were running ANY SM rated oil). Take the car back to Toyota and let them have it for some testing. Make sure you let them know the oil being used (they may drain it out and refill with bulk to see if it is oil related)

Make sure you report back.

I get the noise weather it is dino or synthetic oil. I dont think it has to do with the oil being used. Im just wondering if it is an oil pump matter or what. I have read other people were also getting this. I heard there was a tsb on it
 
toyotaguy ... any leads on that tsb? I have that same irritating start-up chatter on my Sienna, and the dealer says it's normal.
 
I'm still looking into that. I am going to call the dealer on monday. You know how TSB's go. I saw this info on a toyota forum

It sounds like a timing chain or somthing with it.

Post TSB - Engine Knock/Rattle/Squeak on Cold Start
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up about this. My car had made a squealing/rattle sound for about a second on a cold start: I ignored it because it only happened once. For the past two days my car has done it every cold start (a total of 5 times) so I decided to take it in to the dealership. I told the tech I thought it may be the belt and/or tensioner and he agreed it was likely. I took my loaner car (downgrade to base model Corolla ) and went about my day, he assured me it should be done by early afternoon. After 4 hours I decided to call that is when I got the news that there is a TSB out for my issue and I would be without my car for 4-5 days because they do not have the parts in stock.

I had him print out the TSB information so that I could relay it to everyone here because I know others were having the same issue. The TSB does not mention a squeal but it may sound like a squeal/knock/rattle/screech/metallic grinding. Apparently this is attributed to an oil leak.
