It was about 50 degrees outside today in DFW metroplex. I came out with morning spirit around 5:30AM. Started my Camry 4 cyl. And I heard this rattleing noise from my engine. It was too loud today. Usually makes noise but not this loud.
Condition of car:
(1) has 115,000 miles, Timing belt hasn't been changed.
(2) Have been using Moblie 1 synthetic since it has 45,000 miles.
(3) Have used Lucas Heavy Duty oil stabilizer couple times in it.
(4) flushed the engine when i switched it to synthetic with gunk 5 minute flush.
(5) Spark plugs have been changed recently, cleaned throttle body recently(noise existed before this though)

But seems like in cold weather it makes more noise(sounds like some loose part inside. in both conditions warm or cold weather just the amount of noise is diff.).

In 75,000 miles Mobil 1 made that engine much cleaner. Mobil 1 is a very clean oil! I does clean but not nearly as fast as ARX.

Dr. T, you sure don't like Mobil 1, why? It has shown top notch used oil analysis for the most part.
