Rattling noise from engine after oil chane????
Who changes their own oil? Raise your hand. Well I have noticed that after I change my oil and I start the engine I get a rattling noise from the engine for the second it has no oil pressure. As soon as it gets pressure in the system the rattling goes away. I do nothing special when I change my oil other than letting the oil drip for a good 10 minutes and I fill the filter with oil before it goes on. WTF?? Oil pump on its way out or something or am I just hearing another normal Ford noise.

I have NEVER filled my oil filter with oil before an oil change. Never even HEARD of doing that. I just dab some oil on the rubber gasket near the threaded hole, and screw it on.
The rattle could just be the lack of oil in the system until you get everything lubed up after letting it run for a few minutes.

Ive always been taught to do that. It helps minimize the time it takes for the oil to get to the engine.

Good point. I'm not sure if the tensionors use oil pressure or not though. I was thinking lifters at first but it sounds too "fast".

It is because there is no oil in the filter for a split second. And if there is no oil in the filter then for that split second it is filling the rest of the motor is not getting oil. If you want to prevent this then you can fill your filter before installation next time. WARNING: You might get some oil running down your arm because it is a pain in the *** to do.

When you drain the oil it takes most/all the oil out of the motor, resulting in poor/no lubrication in the top end. Even tho you fill the pan with oil from the top of the motor, on initial start-up after an oil change, there is still little/no oil in the top end untill it produces adequate oil pressure. the noise you are hearing is just the valve train starved of oil for a few seconds. It's annoying yes, but not harmful. Think of it this way: Over the life of any motor, how many oil changes will you do? Answer: Hundreds if not thousands.
Nothing is broke or breaking, just lack of lubrication on initial start up. Hopefully this helps.

spot on

They are operated on oil pressure, in fact, there was a TSB on some of the earlier ones for them draining back and hearing this noise at every start-up. I think only the rear chains are oil pressure tensioned. another SOHC fantastic idea

Agreed, but you might want to redo your math. I doubt most people do 100 oil changes on a motor(assuming 1 oil change every 3000miles).

I do my own oil changes.
I too, put some oil into the new filter going on, but I only fill it up to about an inch below the top - less chance of spillage that way when it is placed on.
I haven't noticed any perceptible noise when I start up the engine after an oil change.
OIl and filter changes are done every 5,000 km (~3,000 miles) like clockwork.
Truck is approaching 300,000 km (~190,000 miles), all original - just recently performed the 295,000 km oil and filter change.
FWIW, I've been running synthetic oil for about the last 4 years or so - 5 W 30 grade, as per specs.

mine does this after a oil change its due to lack of oil the motor isent geting any oil till it fills up the empty oil filter. now if i set and put a half of quart in the new filter and then put it on the noise is gone. every place i have worked at changing oil are seen them changing oil the pre oil the filter it helps prevent dry start up's
