2002 Impreza on cold start

02 impreza has a noisey engine, similar to a ticking sound, that goes away
once warm.

Is there a liquid I can put in with an oil change to take this away?

I know I had a Impala with the same issue, when to dealer and got a bottle
of liquid for ticky engines, and puff no more tick. Quiet as a mouse in
fact.

Probably the infamous 'piston slap'. See: http://resnet.uoregon.edu/~dwhite/pages/subnoises.html
