I have a 04 LS ultimate 3.9 V8 , on cold starts makes lifter noise sound may not be lifters but after 2 seconds gets quiet and runs perfectly have heard anti syphon oil filter will stop it Help love the car but hurts to hear that damage soundind noise !
 
There are a few threads on this. Most without any real solution.
What oil are you using? It should be 5W20 or 0W20. Switching to 0W20 may resolve this.
What oil filter are you using? If you are using FRAM, try Motorcraft, WIX, or Mobil1.
 
Thnks I use 5w20 & motorcraft filter #2021 I know yall have proably wore this subject out,but i'm a newby if some of you fine folks could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated Thanks again
 
I would point you in the direction of "both my LS' have done this and I've talked to dealership (mine is still under warranty) and mechanics and nobody can find anything wrong / they all say it seems like normal operation (the dealer especially says that last part).
