I have a 2008 IS250 and have a clicking/rattling noise when I start my car. The noise only last for a split second. I have tried keeping the AC off but it still makes the noise. Here is what I have noticed everytime I hear the noise (which doesn't happen all the time).....winter/fall time happens when it gets close to the 3 month mark for an oil change, happens more often during summer time when the car has been parked for less than an hour/hour and half plus when it comes close to the 3month mark for an oil change. Has anyone else had/have this problem?

This sounds EXACTLY like the symptoms fixed by the cam gear recall on the IS350. (yes, I know you have an IS250, but...)
Listen to the noise that the camry in this video makes:
Is that the kind of sound you are hearing?

I'd start checking your oil level at least once a week or more during that last month.
