    as title says bought mazda 3 2006 1.4l with 100k miles, engine is chain driven but theres noticeable valve clicking noise once starting car,once engine warms up sound goes away usually withing 5 mins,and doesnt appear afterwards, have done oil change 10-30w semi synthetic if remember correctly,but thinking now could it be to thin for the mileage car has,or would it be normal to have valves click until engine warms up.

    given that its summer and night temps still dont drop past 10c a bit worried that there might be an issue with valve wear.
    sounds very simillar to video below except its not as loud nor does it last.


    any input appreciated.
