i got my truck about 6 months ago, it seems to be sounding like described... slight tick, and rattle on a warmish cool start. first oil change ran MC 5-20 & a purolator filter... did second oil change today, this time MC filter & MC oil. Upon first start, truck rattled / sputtered like crazy and read no oil pressure, i thought i was gonna throw something so i shut it down, consulted my dad, then fired it back up. no longer did it. took it for a spin, still ticks. will this go away with time? or is something that needs fixed?
Here is a description of the filter media. Non metal end caps, paper media, non silicone ADBV valve(which can come apart under extended OCI's).

I used a P-lator brand oil filter and 5W20 Castrol Syntec fully synthetic motor oil and my tick did go away.Now this was my truck,not saying it would work for other trucks,but hey worth a shot.Now i run Royal Purple motor oil and Royal Purple oil filter and still no tick.

IIRC, the procedure ends up being around 5 hours total for both sides.
