Why not read SAE Tech Bulletin #770087 wherein you will find an article by Loren & Rodgers on "Cam and Lifter Wear as Affected by Engine Oil ZDDP Concentration and Type’. It will explain what is happening. This stuff won't peek until the end of 2009.

I read the blurb on the SAE website about that paper. Not that I disagree with what they are saying, but it was published in 1977, so it might not apply to what's happening now as a lot about oil has changed since then.
In regards to the noise, start with a better filter and an oil change. Then go from there. Sounds like maybe rocker arms, but that's just an educated guess.
