Car: 04 Subaru STi
Default 07 Legacy loud engine on start up

my mom has an 07 legacy 2.5i. I noticed that when the car is first started in the morning (especially on a cold day) it's very loud, rough, and doesnt drive very well until the engine warms up. Do any of the other legacy drivers have this issue? I mean i know the car of course drives better when the engine oil is at temp, but i have never noticed this issue before when we lived in CA. Im wondering if it is because of the oil i am putting in the car (mobile 1 syn 5w30). what kind of oil are you guys running and are any of you running into this issue. The car only has 17k miles on it, so if something is wrong i wanna get it in while still under warranty. I have an 04 sti and have not experienced this issue with my car. thanks
