Slight engine ticking...

Don't think we will be that lucky. The Mobil1 filter is highly rated, and sports a 10 micron filter. This gets really small stuff out of the oil. I happen to have an older truck with 175 K, and I run a WIX 51459, which is even larger and you get another 1/2 quart or more oil capacity. But this WIX (not all WIX) operates at 35 micron.
See attached for RAVE info on the oil system, and explanation of the hydraulic lifters. Sometimes these have to build up pressure and may make that noise until warmed up lightly But that is not the only thing that can make noise....
To unstick lifters, some use a flush of ATF or other solvent, then change oil. Some use a quart of very thin oil, like Marvel Mystery Oil. Some use a solvent, like SeaFoam, which can dissolve some sludge while you drive. But just as much benefit usually happens when you change to a diesel rated oil (like Rotella) and change often. The xtra cleaning chemicals help get rid of the gunk.
