Just changed the oil in my Sienna. Put in 5w20 for the first time (always used 5w30 before), but I doubt this is the oil. Both I and my wife (unprompted, although I did ask her if she noticed anything different at startup) have noticed that it takes a second or two longer to get the engine starting.
I just put on an M1 filter (yes, the correct size, 102). I'm wondering if this is an ADBV that is not functioning properly, or what? I am pretty sure this is not my imagination. I've changed the oil myself the past year or so on these cars, and I've never noticed anything like this. This is not a horrible grinding noise---just an extra second or two for the engine to start.
Assuming for the sake of argument that what I'm hearing is a real difference, what are the chances that this is a faulty ADBV? This is not even an additional 3-4 seconds, so perhaps that rules out the ADBV? I don't know how much time it would take oil to go through the filter, if the ADBV were not working right. There are absolutely no leaks, so the oil is there in the engine.
FWIW, I have replaced the starter last Feb (Feb 2017) after a new one failed after 4 months--so perhaps this is the starter slowly going out, again assuming that there is a delay in starting time. I'm not necessarily convinced that this is the filter, but if it is, I will put on a new one ASAP.
