VVT rattle after service

The car has just had its first service in the UK and to honour this I went along to the boys down at APT. (Paperwork and all)

On the way back I noticed that I now have a louder VVT rattle. I say its VVT but basically the classic SR rattle.

All I could think was different viscosity of oil (thinner?) causing it. I was unsure of the grade before, but it now has Valvoline SynPower 5W50.

I may try 10W40/50 after the winter.

My car is so clean you could eat off it.
