It sounds like the oil needs to be changed which is what I would do first, here is a generic guide to help with instructions in the images below to help you with your car.

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. We need to hear the noise, so we know which direction to go to help you fix the car. It takes time to upload so please be patient.

Temperatures Above 0 Deg F SAE 10w-30 Or 10w-40

With New Filter 4.0 qt (US)

Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
