a few months ago i began observing a crunch/cracking type of noise when i start the engine. that's the best way to describe it, but it's a high pitched sound that lasts a split second before going away. does anyone have any idea what this could be based on my bad description?
otherwise the car drives normally as it used to. i bought the car used, used conventional oil the first oil change, then mobil1 synth 5w-30 the next two, and even a toyota factory filter the last time. now has 47k or so miles on it.

my 2006 GS, and friends IS350 does the same thing, I think its a common and known issue? What I've noticed is it does it more frequently when there's old oil in the car
