This is somewhat misleading if you ask me.
The Toyota engine that is prone to sludge is the 1.6L from the 2001 to 2007 Altis. I have a 2007 model (running on LPG at that) and to date at 115,000kms there's still no sludge and the last compression test at Speedyfix (at around 80,000kms) showed healthy cylinders across the board. I replace the oil every 5,000kms and i understand those who had sludge were the ones who used synthetic oil and extended the drain interval to 10,000kms.
maybe your oil has become too thin with age. Knocking may be from rocker arms starving for oil during initial start up.
any other suggestions?? so far i have changed gas from silver to gold, changed oil kahit di pa due, petron red, 20w50. ganon pa din po problem
Have you tried higher octane fuel? Does your engine have a distributor?
so higher pa sa gold which is ron93? not yet. ano po yong distributor?
cant describe pero hindi naman sya yong tok tok tok pag nag revolusyon ka from cold start. me iba lang tunog pag rev ka. pero after 5mins of warm up, wala na noise kahit i rev ko.

Seems like the engine oil hasn't warmed up yet. If you want to minimize the noise, use better type of oil or use fully synthetic oil.
Caltex Gold is 95 octane. Higher would be Shell Nitro Racing 97 octane and Petron Blaze 100 octane.

well, engine knock has been typically described as the sound of marbles falling onto a metal tin roof.
and valve chatter, like multiple metallic clicking sounds.
either way, you probably have to bring it to a mechanic for possible timing adjustment and/or valve lash adjustment.
good luck.

same problem here avanza 1.3 e at 16500 kms mileage. i already brought it to toyota pero sabi nila baka maluwag lang yung belt pero hanggang ngayon andyan pa rin
observe ko pa kng nawala na nga..
pero ito na ginawa ko.
1.upgraded to caltex gold muna, mga 2 weeks na
2. change oil to shell helix yellow SN rating, 15w40
pansin ko mas tahimik makina, tapos ngayon yong warm up time ko reduced na to two minutes.. siguro next week try ko 1 min warm up time bago ko rev to check kung nawala na yong knocking.
