hey kiwikev, yes the 2.2 has loud lash adjusters. I used to use shell helix ultra, but I found that it was too lean and the lifters would rattle heaps due to lack of lubrication. I changed to pennzoil (older engine - SAE 60) which has a heavier viscosity providing more lubrication. I should have changed to this oil years ago. I can't hear any excess noise (apart from the right ones). Try changing your oil first, if the noise persists, have someone take a look at your lash adjusters.
