knocking after oil change

After changing the oil on the dakota, i started it.

I am used to a little "clacking" that i assume is lifters waiting to
get oil,
but this time i heard "knocking" sounds that seemed louder
than i remember (and deeper than the clacking).

Any idea what this is a sign of?

I used valvoline 10W30 like usual (though whenever i happen to get
the oil changed with warranty work, they use penzoil, i
think).

Thanks,
eric
