    How many miles?
    I have a few non Toyota vehicles with higher mileage that will rattle until Oil Pressure builds up. I use an Oil Stabilizer, like Lucas, in them so after lubricant leak down after the vehicle sets for an extended period, like overnight, the engine has a coating of lubricant when first started.
    I know that these modern engines use a low viscosity oil. I am not familiar with your particular engine, maybe someone else will chime in.
    Like I said, I use Lucas, a bottle every oil change. One of the vehicles is a 94 Ranger with 240,000 on a 4 cylinder. It may use a 1/2 to 1 quart in 5,000 miles, doesn't smoke and gets around 22mpg.

    Welcome to the forum :hattip:

    Many quick lube places use basic grade (aka: cheap) oil filters.
    Try changing the oil filter, OEM Toyota, WIX brand or NAPA are good quality.

    It's normal. Even more and longer when below zero.
