Yeah I got told engine flush can do more harm than good.
So just let the engine idle for a while so the oil is warm/hot For when you change it.
You can get some kind of oil that's supposed to quieten down noisy tappets, you just add it to the oil already in you're car.
Can't remember the specific name of it, also can't say whether it's any good, as I haven't used it.
Seen it in the shops though. So maybe that'll help.
