2017 f150 bad rattle at start up.

Can anyone help me? My 2017 f150 5.0 2017 After I've driven it a while an I shut it off when I restart after sitting 10 15 minuets. It will make a bad rattle for a few seconds then stop but doesn't do it all the time maybe once ever five starts?

Are you using the recommended type and grade of motor oil in the engine?

The reason I asked was because today's engines are pretty sensitive to the correct type and grade oil used. Oil change intervals are also pretty critical also..
