sounds like el cheapo oil then perhaps. Of most the Mitsis I've come across with noisey lifters, the noise tends to go away and stay away for 5,000kms or so when using a quality oil. I would be using a semi synthetic or full synthetic 5W30, 10W30, 5W40 or 10W40.

surely you can't expect quality when you're only paying $79 odd for an oil change! they have to skimp on something, and this case it's the quality of the oil and oil filter especially.
