Insufficient information is given - but it could possibly be a sticking valve lifter that quiets down and the noise goes away after the engine is warm and the oil is circulating.

For a 2007 Toyota Highlander, the recommended oil weight is typically 5W-30. However, if you are operating in extremely cold temperatures, you might consider 0W-20 for better cold-start performance.

What is the cause of ticking noise when cold but goes away when warms up on 95 aspire?

The ticking noise in a 1995 Aspire when cold is often due to the lifters or valves not getting enough oil circulation as the engine starts. When the engine warms up, the oil thins and flows more easily, reducing or eliminating the noise. Additionally, it could be related to exhaust leaks or components like the timing belt tensioner. Regular maintenance, including oil changes, can help minimize such noises.


Why is your rover ticking when its cold?

The ticking sound you are hearing from the rover when it's cold is likely due to the metal components expanding as they warm up. This expansion can cause parts to move slightly, creating the ticking noise. It is a normal phenomenon and should not cause concern as long as the sound goes away once the rover warms up.
