98SableGS,

I hear that all the time on my 2001 Druango SLT 4.7 V-8 engine! No big deal as it's just the engine pumping oil to lube the insides as it's warming up. It goes away after a minute. Just make sure the dealership knows about it. Mine does and no indications that it's bad. Just make sure you use the correct oil by looking it up in the manuel.
