A rattling noise in the engine of a 2000 Lincoln LS V8 can be caused by several issues, including loose or damaged components such as heat shields, timing chains, or tensioners. Worn engine mounts or a failing oil pump may also contribute to abnormal sounds. Additionally, low oil levels or dirty oil can lead to inadequate lubrication, causing parts to rattle. It's advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose the specific cause.

Yes, not changing the oil can lead to a rattling noise in your engine. As oil ages, it becomes less effective at lubricating engine components, which can result in increased friction and wear. This can cause parts to rattle or knock due to insufficient lubrication. Regular oil changes help maintain engine health and reduce the risk of such noises.
