My '02 3.2 does not make any noise at start up and the car sits most the time; as it is not driven daily or sometimes even weekly. I have been using Castrol Syntec 10W40 for the last several years...perhaps this is the reason why I have no issues?

Years back when I was still using Mobil 1 0W40 (didn't know any better), the car would clatter until it warmed up 30 seconds or so...now I know why!
