One thing I find that works for me is I start up the car and if I hear any ticking, I shut it off. I then restart it and if I hear it again I let it run for about a minute and repeat. Usually it will stop after the second time. Mine stops after the first. It seems like the oil pump needs a little priming or something. Then it's usually good for my trip.

BTW, I have a mitsu filter and run 10w30 Mobil 1. It doesn't tick nearly as much now as it did before the mitsu filter but the same trick worked for me when i wasn't using a mitsu filter. Which reminds me, I need to change my oil.
