it's been my experience that synthetic oil is thinner than mineral so that might account for your tapping noise.easy to find out switch back to 20/50 and see .cheap test.

Yeah, i know the oil guides go out, but it literally happened like a few hours after the oil was changed. Do you by chance know what the sound is like when the oil guides go out? Is it a constant tick or one that comes and goes, and gets faster with accelleration.

MBz recommends a Mobil 1 product that meets 229.5 (or 229.51 as needed).
