There isn't enough information to make an educated guess as to what is making the noise, and what could be causing it.

 

For all we know it could be many thousand miles over on oil change - what's the oil look like on the dipstick? 

Its new/clean oil,  the noise is not present all the time just when the car sits a while and only lasts a second at start up, ill try get a video soon if that would help

Hello All, 

2014 Edge 3.5L 130,000 ish miles. 

Would some one on here be able to help me with this issues?  When the car sits long enough there will be a knock or loud metal rattle for a split second when the car starts up.  I've read that 0W-20 oil and a OEM oil filter may help but that honestly seems like something that Too good to be true,   Any suggestions that you can give me would be much appreciated.
