I have been using regular dino oil (Quaker State) 10W30 for the life of the car, and was going to switch to synthetic, but these woes have come around in the past couple of weeks.
Under the cover, well, inside the valve cover has more of a dark brownish colour and a feel to it similar to that of rocker-guard? There is a fair amount of sludge sitting on top of the camshaft bearing caps, and it doesn't look like I have any unsual wear on the items there.
I changed the oil in it only a couple of weeks ago with a new filter and the noise started and then went away (see my earlier posts) with the CEL and pressure light. It has been really cold in Toronto recently, and I remember that I had been driving the car gently, and then I gunned it passing someone and the noise came back - that's when I thought that some sludge came loose in the pan and kinda blocked the oil pump sreeen a little more?
I will give the Amsoil flush a go for a couple of times and run the Rotella and see what happens. After inspecting the pan and oil regulating valve (if possible).
