The V6 is an inherently noisy engine, and it's pretty common that people complain about lifter noise. I have an '01 V6 that I thought had a noisy lifter but it just turned out to be the clackity nature of the engine. Yours probably is a lifter noise though if it goes away once the engine warms up a bit. I would be hesitant to put any additives in. I've heard of some additives breaking down seals and stuff. I tried AutoRX because everyone here recommended it. My turbo had been blowing blue smoke at startup but then 1000 miles into AutoRX it started blowing more blue smoke, and it now lets out a nice huge cloud (can't see the car behind me) after I accelerate. It might just be coincidental but who knows?
