Dry start knocking noise?
#21
Like others said, wix/napa gold or amsoil are the filters of choice as far as getting ride othe the dry starts. In my case, as mentioned earlier, amsoil worked
in my case.
in my case.

I installed another Mopar Filter with a new oil change 2 days ago and soo far , it seems to not be having dry starts anymore. Maybe it is a hit and miss with these Mopar Filters. I really wanted to go with the other filters mentioned in this forum, but I already had 2 new Mopar Filters in stock and I just do not need to have my dealership give me any issues regarding my warranty. I do all of my own maintenance , when I buy my oil filters from my dealer, I have them, put my vin# on the invoice, to show more proof if needed for the paper trail if ever needed for warranrty issues.

I let the idiot lights cycle through before starting the engine, then watch for a very brief appearance of the red oil-can lamp.
I switched back to OEM filters and don't have the problem anymore. Even when parked facing uphill for a couple days without starting the engine. Still using Mobil 1 5w-20.

Found my fix start knocking noise
The answer for me was finding the right filter I took off my mopar filter after sitting all night hardly any oil in it must have drain back. I put in motocraft fl-400s filter that seem to do the trick Also try napa gold 1516. Filter. These seem to stop drain back and start up knock. Mopar filter is a hit or a miss on drain back. But the other filters that I listed work 100%

I have had the drain-back problem when using Mobil 1 filters. (came free with jugs of 5w-20)

Yep - the Mopar filters gave me dry start knock. After reading a lot of these types of threads here, I tried the Motorcraft FL400S. Been through a number of oil changes now (I have over 90K miles on my 2007 Unlimited) and never had dry start knock with the Motorcraft filter.

I've been using MOPAR filters with no problems.
