2016 5.7L engine knock

[Lonestar5.7L]

Well after the first oil change and only at cold start the engine knocks NOT ticking but Knocks !!!! It will knock intermittently until engine oil temp. reaches 140degrees then stops. I've looked on Google and YouTube and found others with the same issue but with no results as to why. To me it sounds like a rod knock. Anyone info is appriecieated.

What oil did you use, my hemi tick sounded just like you say a loud knock, but it was actually lifter tick. Upload a audio/video file from your webcam.

Hi Lonestar5.7L,

Sorry to hear about this! If you decide to visit your local dealership for further diagnosis I'd be happy to follow up with them for you if needed. Just PM our page with your VIN and let me know.

If it started right after the first oil change, either the wrong oil or filter was used. The filter could be defective. I would start by trying a different filter.
