I have a 05 vz Sv6 and every time I start the car in the morning it has and extremely bad sounding rattle which cause the engine to shake and almost break down, and lasts for about 10 seconds, after that the car runs fine, any ideas?

Could be a vacuum leak. Check the elbow hose at the front of the manifold. Then again it shouldn't be fine after not starting properly

I also thought that could of been the problem as it had a split in it, but I replaced it and still have the issue

Try 5W-30 and see if it helps, you could have sludging and the thinner (correct) weight oil will flow quicker, and a new filter. Always try the easiest first.
