tapping tappits

When I cold start my car I am getting a lot of tappit rattle. I don't think they are worn because it's getting noisier too quickly. I know the oil is well overdue for a change and suspect this is the problem. What is the best way to ensure the tappits are cleaned out before I change the oil? I'd prefer not to have to remove them, but will if necessary. What's the best oil to use in a C20LET?

vauxoil is made by mobil, and the fully synthetic is mobil 1 in a different can, i'd use vaux stuff, both it and castrol exceed the standars set for oil, i.e the sae number, so either will be fine
