Noise at start-up

I am newly into an 03 A6 Avant 3.0. At start-up in the AM (TX) I get about 1-2 sec of serious valve train noise. Much worse than my 1.8t. Oil level is fine. I only have 1K mi. Are all 3.0s like this?

CHECK YOU OIL GRADE.. IT MAY BE TO THICK FOR WINTER DRIVING.. MIGHT NEED A THINNER OIL, OR JUST.

TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM FIND THE PROBLEM.. THATS ALWAYS THE BEST SOLUTION, IF IT'S NOT THE OIL... I JUST HOPE IT'S THE OIL

I think you can type like a normal person if you turn off your Caps Lock... :^(

More ?

So, I'm assuming other 3.0 owners do'nt hear valve noise at start-up? Is there any change in the sound of the engine in the first 1-2 sec after start-up?
Thanks mucho
