2008 Honda Accord makes a grinding noise on start up.
After my last oil change the car started making a grinding noise on cold starts. By cold start I mean if I start the car after 4-6 hours. Each day I notice the grinding noise getting louder and louder. I have provided a video of the start up with the grinding noise.
I would take it to a Honda dealership but the nearest one is 80 miles from my house. If it is something serious I do not mind making the trip.

Search for issues with the VTC.........How many miles on it, as it might still be under warranty. Of sourse you have checked the oil level correct.

There was no recall. In the thread I linked to, there were revised TSB procedures to shorten the labor time and make it easier. Make sure the dealer or independent shop are knowledgeable about the revised procedures to save time and money. Some Honda techs can even doing it faster with their own procedures that they developed that were not listed in the TSB.
