I've never questioned when members say certain oil filters cause start up noise (due to failed ADBV or other reason) as it makes logical sense. An empty oil filter has to fill back up before the engine can build oil pressure, low oil pressure certainly could cause a variety of engine noises. Having said that I can't think of a time where my engines have exhibited any start up chatter after any oil changes, where the filter is completely empty and completely dry! Not doubting your post in any way, just my observation.2020 Equinox 1.5t

I changed because I did not like the startup noise in the morning. I wasn’t sure if it was oil or filter, or another reason. After the change there has been no noise. Will not use cheap purolator filter.
All engines are different. Only engine I've had that made any noises after an oil change with a new empty filter on it was a Nissan Altima with the VQ35. The cam chains would rattle for a few seconds. Other vehicles I've had wouldn't make any noises after an oil and filter change.An empty oil filter has to fill back up before the engine can build oil pressure, low oil pressure certainly could cause a variety of engine noises.

I agree. Just sharing my experience.All engines are different. Only engine I've had that made any noises after an oil change with a new empty filter on it was a Nissan Altima with the VQ35.

That would be my conclusion as well, likely just a faulty filter. I suppose some engines are just more sensitive to start up noise than others.I wouldn’t mind if the noise was right after the oil change but it continued every morning startup. It’s not happening now so besides the oil I changed the filter and the noise stopped. It had to be the filter with nitrile DBV
