hard to tell from the clip... but it just sounds like really loud piston slap to me. did you change the type of oil you use? sometimes changing brands/weights of oil can causes noises to quiet or become more pronounced.

you really should have someone listen to it in person

yep i switched to 10w30 an my slap went away. i only use mobile one too. i'd try a different oil you could pull valve covers and look at ur valvetrain and scratch ur head cuz it most likely isnt it. also how much oil did u put in it?
