Engine Noise - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a 2009 Camry I4 with about 20K on it. I have noticed some engine noise over the past few months. It sounds like lifters or top end rattle of some sort. It is my wife's car and I don't drive it much, so I am not sure if the noise has been there much longer than a few months.

It rattles at startup (cold) and after it warms up it don't get any better. I do have the oil changed between 3K - 5K miles regularly. I use Castrol Syntec on all my vehicles.

Is this nock/rattle normal for the I4 or should I take it in and have the dealer take a look at it?

Thanks,
Rick

it's under warranty, take it to the dealer.

Thats just a normal trait of the 2AZ-FE. They have a noisy valve train, and loud fuel injectors. Your fine.
