lack of oil rattle when parked on an incline ??

Hey guys........

Noticed a rattle for a few seconds when i first started my srt-10 after it was parked on an incline....... Has anyone else experienced this ?? I would think the oil pickup would be better than this.......

I haven't noticed it with mine, But I have been running 2 quarts of Lucas Synthetic and 6 1/2 quarts 10w30 Mobil 1 since it had 70 miles on it.I change it every 2000 to 3000 miles depending on my driving habits!

Nope, and mine is sometimes parked on a pretty steep driveway. Which way were you facing when you were parked?

nose up......... the more i think about it, it may have been belt slippage....... there was a pretty heavy rain while it was parked this way --- water may have entered the scoop......
