I would have expected it the other way around. It never should had gotten any 10W40. Now that you have the right oil, add a quart of Marvel Mystery oil if you have the room. If not, drain a little oil to make room.

It should be very easy to find and sold in most auto parts stores. It should help clean the lifters and stop the ticking noise. You don't want to continue driving it that way or you will do more damage. I suspect you went too far between oil changes to cause this in the first place.

but i always change oil at 3500 miles or less...
