Engine flush in the old oil, and run for 15 minutes at a high idle before draining it.

Wynns do one which was (I think) recommended by PCGB.

(I appreciate this probably isn't what you want to hear if you have already changed the oil, but tappet noise is just noise and will do no harm if you leave it 'till the next oil change.)
