I just purchase this car after a week I notice valves chattering during start ups, It's louder during the first couple of seconds than a little quieter,is this nomal for this type of car or do this motor need major work.I took it to two different dealers, one dealer said that I should change to ester oil to quiet the valves, the other dealer said it was ok to drive with no problems because he see them like that all the time. Can you tell me what shall I DO? Thanks Gilbert
