lifters and oils

Lately I have been hearing a sound on cold start. since i have a V6 I was concerned that it was the timing pulley calling out for help. but when I opened the oil fill cap It revealed that it was the cam slapping one of the lifters. I have read other v6ers posting the same problem. After a while the niose goes away. my questions: 1) could this sound be related to the timing belt? 2)with synthetic oil how often should i change oil? 3000 or 5000? 3)Would a higher viscosity(thicker)oil help keep the lifter lubed up better? some recommend thinner some recommend thicker, but it is getting hot around here and i feel thicker would be better for the engine. 4) are there any good solvent cleaners that would help clean out residue and would you recommend using them?
thanks in advance
