Quick question where about in the sump is the oil pick up pipe?
The reason I ask is the drive out the front of my house is quite steep and I normally drive up it as it's easier than reversing on. A couple of times I have come out in the morning and when I start the car it sounds like a bag of spanners for about 1/2 a second (I never rev it when I start it) Now I have started to reverse all the time and it doesn't happen.
My guess is that the oil is draining back into the sump overnight so the top end is being starved until the oil pressure is up.?
You guys think I've hit the nail on the head ?
