Tappety noise

Hope you can help. Have acquired a tappety noise for about 5 - 10 secs when the engine is started. Quickly goes away but cant decide what it is.

Car is a one owner from new (me) 55 plate (06 my) which is on 109k miles. Last serviced at 104,000 with cam belts etc at main dealer.

Oil level ok.

Any clues before I go asking the dealer. Do I need to be worried?

Thanks

I'll take a look at the additive. Sounds like it is just one of those things! TDV6 HSE Lux (2014MY)

It was in for it's 105k service I picked it up from the dealers at 6pm last night and brought it home. I added the TSL before going out in it again.

Got up this morning and the first thing I noticed when I turned the key no more tappity noise. (don't think there's such a word but you get my drift) so that's me happy that's all I bought it for. I am not hoping for better MPG or anything else really just has long as it sounds smoother. Thumbs Up

The tappets are hydraulic , full oil pressure is'nt reached for a few seconds on start up so they are a bit noisy, you notice it most with the first start up after an oil & filter change , I would'nt worry about it.
