Personally, I see no need for any additives if you are using a major brand of oil. An additive might even negatively affect the performance of the careful blend of lubricants and additives in the oil. I would use nothing heavier than a 15W-40 weight oil in the warm months and something lighter in the colder part of the year if you experience freezing and sub-freezing temps. You might get lucky messing around with additives, but I would not recommend any. Do you know which lifter it is and could the cause be something between it and the valve causing the lifter not to pump up? It is easy enough to isolate the cylinder and pull a valve cover and take a look. Good luck with the noisy lifter problem.
