most cars do it for the first second or so.. could also be that ur running the wrong weight oil... i run 10w40 in the celica...
i got some knocking sound in the engine when it's cold..
when the car is warm the sound is gone...
Got enough engine oil....

how long do you get the noise for?
is it a tappety kinda sound?
what engine?
if its only for a few seconds its just your oil getting around to everything
Is the engine stock? as some forgie pistons will rattle when cold. If its stock then check egine main bearings.
most engines have some piston knocking when they are cold, but it could be valve buckets as well, which you might want to get fixed.
not a pinging sound?
I thought this usually meant main engine bearings?

maybe you have a blocked oil filter, using wrong oil, is the sump damaged? could be taking longer than normal for oil to reach the top and some componants are knocking dry. or somethin...
oh yeh...
are you using a standard sump? cause if you dori around and around, back and forth, you could lose oil pressure and you may of damaged something. i.e. cams or bearings and they may make alot of noise when its cold until it becomes properly lubricated.
etc etc.
