The V6 uses hydrolic lifters (click here)

Oil can drain out of them when the engine is stopped - until they fill back up they make noise. The better oil filters have anti-drainback valves to help prevent this, but I just noticed my X was doing this (rattle at startup) and I have the Nissan filter.
