So for the last two weeks or so every morning when I start up my accord I get this ticking sound. It only happens on the first start up. I changed the oil and made no difference. I used 5w20 synthetic blend from honda and honda filter. It doesnt do it during the day or any other time only when I start the car for the first time that day. What can I check for or do. Anything will help thanks. Maybe a lucas additive. It has never done it before. Car only has 65xxx miles 2005

 

Maybe your car is due for a valve clearance adjustment?
