I do it myself in the driveway for half of what the dealership quoted. Takes about 30 minutes, it's really easy on my powerstroke as the drain plug and filter are right next to each other.
Pros: easy to do, saves money
Vehicle:
Ford
Switch to a high quality oil filter to allow oil to flow quicker at startup. The rattle, if timing chain related, is likely one of the hydraulic tensioners not filling with oil as quickly as it should so you hear the chain rattle till it tightens. A higher quality filter will help. Wix would be my recommendation.
Pros: high quality, quicker oil flow
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Wix are better than fram or microgard but they dont beat factory, they restrict oil flow more
Pros: better than fram
Cons: restrict oil flow
On my '21 XLE I use WIX 51394 oil filter which holds more oil and is slightly longer than OEM. I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W-20.
Pros: holds more oil, longer than OEM
Vehicle:
Toyota
Part number: 51394
