Additionally, on 2WD piston slap is a known issue from a cold start (4x4 has offset gudgeon pins, which reduces this).

It's 4wd. I will try to put some videos of the noise here so you can assess how made the noise is. I changed oil 2 days ago. Before that, last oil change was spring 2013 and I drove ~5000 km with that oil.
