Slight Engine Knock?

Anyone here notice a small engine knock when the car is first started when cold? It goes away when warm.

Yep, cold weather=cold engine start up=cold thick oil in the pan. A slight knock can be heard until the oil temp. warms and distributes. I suggest a 5w-20 for colder climates, also keep an eye on your oil level.
