Your last oil change, how much did you put in? seeing any oil leaks on the engine itself underneath?

My first thought is a lifter issue. Depends on the noise cause it could also be the cam pads/chains, but that is usually persistent not just on startup. I would put something in like seafoam right before your next oil change. Such as drive it for 20-40 miles with seafoam and then change your oil & filter. Let the oil drain for an hour and then fill. If it helps then maybe do it 1 more time.
He needs to know the oiling system is functioning properly before looking elsewhere. It can be a lifter issue, these cars are prone to having lifter problems, but as for using the additive you mention, I am not even going to go there.................
