Why does my Kia Sportage's engine make a loud noise when starting?

I've noticed that my Kia Sportage's engine makes a loud noise when starting. It usually goes away after a few minutes but it's concerning to hear. Is this something I should be worried about?

This could be a sign of a potential issue with your engine. It's best to have it checked by a certified mechanic as soon as possible to prevent any further damage.

It's normal for Kia Sportages to make a noise when starting. However, if the noise persists for more than a few minutes, it's worth getting it checked out.

Have you recently changed your oil? Lack of proper lubrication can cause loud engine noises. Make sure to keep up with regular maintenance.
