[QUOTE="soccerman002, post: 14815622, member: 86800"] I changed the oil over the weekend and have been driving the car on and off all week b/c the weather has been nice. I pulled into a parking space on my lunch break and noticed what sounded like knocking from my car, turned the engine off and thought it was the car two spaces over. Went into Home Depot, got what I needed and didn't think anymore of it. Fast forward to when I'm leaving work and I get home and it is definitely my car - has never sounded like this before. I bought the car with 83k on it and have owned it about 5-6 years now, is getting ready to hit 100k miles. The power seems fine, no vibrations, no CEL - operates just like it always has, just has the knocking noise now. I did some reading and it seems like everyone is quick to say rod knock. At the moment the car is parked and I won't be able to drain the oil until sometime next week or so. Anything else that I can check before I decide what to do from here? We just bought my wife a new car last Fall and my daily driver truck has 92k on it, so I'd rather not have to throw a bunch of money at this if it requires it. [/QUOTE]
