valvetrain noise when hot. knocking, slapping

As my oil gets hot I have noticeably louder valvetrain noise. It I'm running 0w40 synthetic and it's about 65 degrees if that matters. Its very much noticeable with the hood down outside the car and I don't remember it being as audible as it is now. I've tried disconnecting spark plugs as a way of determine bottom end noise but I couldn't draw any conclusions doing this. I bought a car stethoscope but I also can't really come to any conclusions. Even when i rev it up its hard to determine if the thumping follows the revs.

Anyway, I made a vid. I'm clueless, no codes. I appreciate any input.

Also does anyone know which menu in inpa shows oil pressure?
