yeah, wont hurt to do an oil change with a good quality oil of the correct grade,if the tapping dissapears after a few seconds its quite normal
Knocking sounds are common, very common for example on the first versions of the vauxhall ecotec engines,
If you were to flick the key instead of starting maybe twice , then start it , do you still get the sound? if not the oil is thrown up stopping the knocking from being heard

If your that worried you can fit a switch to the ignition circuit to kill the spark and let the engine turn for few seconds then turn on the switch to fire up.
