Lifters tapping after oil change, any pointers on why this has happened?
I picked up a used 2008 v50 a few weeks back, drove it home and swapped some fluids and did an oil change. After i did the oil change it seems that one or two of the lifters have began tapping. My understanding is that they are hydraulic and there is no adjustment to be made to them or the rocker arms. I am not super familiar with the car but i havent wanted to drive it until i get this figured out, it didnt sound like this before the oil change. Can anyone steer me in the right direction as far as a repair?? Thank you

So ES6T what do u think it is? It just started after i changed the oil, it almost feels like the oil isnt circulating like mayb there is an air pocketand the pump cant push the oil or something, i read somewhere another person said that could be a possibilty that the oil pump is dead headed? Would pulling the paper filter out for a few minutes possibly allow oil to get up to the top end? Idk what to do?
