Loud engine noise at idle, quiet when accelerating
My 03 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT will go about 2 weeks being quiet and then out of nowhere upon startup (usually on cold days) will make a lawn mower sound. But the other day it was -6 and didn't do it so I'm not sure why. I tried changing the oil to synthetic thinking there could be engine sludge making the oil not circulate to the top of the engine and that seemed to work for a while but it just started again. Sounds like the lifters but it only does it sometimes so it has to be the oil right?
