Lifters??

Question:

My 5KCSTQ has been making a bit of noise lately.. A loud tapping noise to
be exact.  It happens every now and then -- when it's cold for a minute or
so, and sometimes on not-so-cold mornings as well.  It seems to go away
relatively quickly most times -- but I can't seem to figure out why it does
it.

I'll take your suggestion re: making sure the oil is 'topped off' at all
times.. But, could it be anything serious?

I currently use Castrol synthetic 10#-30.
