Just changed the oil on my 2007 grand vitara v6 auto with 136k miles with Castrol Edge Extended 5w30 5L and hearing a strangle slapping noise at idle:

Can’t really hear it in the cabin unless I have the AC off, anything I should be wary of?

It performs fine and goes to redline with plenty of power and no hesitation.

Google the timing chain rattle on the Suzy forums. Lots of info. IIRC it is benign, but can't say for sure. Look it up.
