Read a few posts about using Castrol Edge Titanium and the cam gear startup noise is now gone. I had mine replaced a few years ago and before my last oil change, I would constantly hear the cam gears when starting the car. I also changed to 5W20 as per the TSB for 2006 IS250s and IS350s.

Mine has usally only rattled upon start-up after sitting in the SC sun from 8-5. Especially when nearing the end of my oil change duration 7k miles (personal choice) using Mobil 5W-30, per the owners manual. I've not heard about the TSB for the oil change recommendation before.
I just changed my oil last weekend, and since I sit on a slight uphill slight if I've not heard it all this week in the 90s/100s...I'm happy.
