I have an 07 ES with 15k miles. The engine makes a very distinctive value tick noise until the engine has been running about 10 or 12 minutes. Has been serviced every 5k by Lexus dealer. I assume they are using only oil recommended by Lexus. I have considered asking them to use a 5w rather than a 10w oil.
Has anyone else experienced this engine noise?
I have the same noise on cold start-up. Was told by Lexus tech that the noise is do to the direct-injection. Noise does cease when engine reaches operating temp..
