Okay, when i bought the car, it had a carquest oil filter on it. pretty much every time i would start it it would knock for about 2 seconds. when i changed my oil for the first time the filter was bone dry. i swapped on a ac delco filter. this made it so that after sitting for a day or two, it would then knock for 2 seconds. I finally went out and bought a puralator pure one filter. i let the supra sit for a day, then swapped the filter. bone dry. i started it and let it fill the filter with oil.

After all of this, i came out today and it knocked for 2 seconds after sitting for a day or two. This isnt just a tick or anything, its quite a knock. its really starting to annoy me. Any ideas on what I can do?

its called gravity. lol. oil will settle into the pan, once you start it the oil picks back up. thats your "knock". once the oil starts flowing its all good

Hes just saying theres no oil in the head so the valves and cams wobble... The only thing is no other car ive ever driven has ever done that.
