Took a video clip of my dry (cold) start this morning.
4F, sat in the driveway cold for about 6 hours brand new mobil1 5-20, and fram TG3614.
Most mornings I'll hear the valves clacking for about a second. When it's super cold like it's been the past few days, I get a low pitched belt sound + valves.
Going to pick up some filters from Mopar and Ford to see if that helps.

Always read about this problem on the fourm...never experienced it UNTIL I switch to Mobil 1 Syn 5-20 oil and a Mobil 1 filter.
I will be changing back to Mopar next change.

Not telling you how to live your life but...
I got a Mobil filter once. It was on my JK for 2 days. I pulled it off, threw it in the trash, installed a Bosch and topped my oil off again. Valves tapping for 2 seconds at EVERY start is not a good thing and it does hurt over time.

Simple question.
Where, in the owners manual, Does it reads to use an Oil Filter with an Anti-drain valve in it
Folks there is something else going here.
I have used Mobil, Original FIlter, K&N all with the recommended Motor Oil and I still get the Dry Starts and Yes even the Fram filter fail.

I read on the forum a long time ago about using a "larger" capacity filiter. So i went to the larger one and am yet to have a single dry startup even in the blistering cold.
its PH3600 for fram or TG3600 for the expensive one its a bit longer than the stock filter.
