this can be bad oil (bad quality, grade, etc.)... try to change oil to recommended one and see how it goes then.

So long as it quietens down when hot it's ok.
You need to use a oil with loads of detergents in it, like most top quality fully synthetics, as these stop the gum and varnish in the oil building up so bad, this is why I flush mine with flushing oil prior to every oil change.
A treat of wynns hydraulic valve lifter lubs can often work wonders on these.
