If you're chasing a 'tick' int he motor, I'd want to first understand what's causing it, then approach a repair on it.
I haven't seen any other posts detailing this tick, so the questions I'd ask are as follows:
1. Does it go away when it's warm?
2. Is there ANY change in the sound (duration, frequency, pitch, etc) right after an oil change?
3. How many miles on your motor?
4. How long has it been making this noise and is it getting worse?

1 second rattle on start up is very common on older boxsters, Its simply until the oil pressure builds up to the lifters.... common on a lot of cars infact. Id be willing to be my mortgage that the additives was not the cause of your friends problem.
