Noisy at startup
Didn't drive the Jeep for almost a week because of visiting relatives. Started it this morning and it went to clicking like crazy for about 3-5 seconds. Then the noise went away. Is this normal? The '13 JK has only 133 miles! Traded in the 4 DR for this 2 DR about 2 weeks ago.

I have heard this was from the oil filter not having a drain back valve.( not sure if that's the technical term for the filter) I changed oil filter on mine to one with the anti drain valve and it quit clacking on startup.

My 2012 JKUR does this almost every time I start it up. It really bothers me and it just doesn't sound right. I'm due for an oil change this week so I'll inquire about the drain back filter...

have a first gen 2012 with the pentistar and has always clicked. 36K and its 18 months old. dealer says its normal and i believe them cause when you rev the clicking does not get worse. never had an issue with the engine cause of it, or any problems with the engine what so ever.....except when crossing water...but thats another story
