That's tappet noise, it's the hydraulic lifters pumping up. If the engine's old or can't reach pressure right away, they tap, especially on a cold morning. You should probably let it idle until it stops tapping.
You probably released a bunch of built-up dino gunk when you switched to synth. I'd change it again very soon, maybe by 500 miles, just to get the gunk out. Filter, too. You're using 10w30, right? If that doesn't solve it, have the oil pressure looked at in case something's really blocked.
