Bump, my M104 just started doing this after an oil change. I did change oil types but did not expect this to happen. I normally run generic oil, whatever is on sale. Nothing thinner than 10W40 but all the way on up to 20W50. This time I put in DELO 400 which is 15W40 (right in the middle). Car was "normal" for about 10 miles, then it sat about 2 hours. Upon restarting, there is 1 loud lifter; it's pretty pronounced. Drove about 10 miles home and it ticked all the way. Any ideas? I hate to drain the DELO and put generic 10W40 back in there, but I'd rather do that than damage something. That's a lot of $$$ down the drain.
