tomaszjanczak : get the dealer to check the oil pressure when the engine is hot I.E after at least 15mins running as it will take that long for the oil temp to stabilize. If you got the old oil keep it as they may want to look at it.
The knock sound will go away if you stop the engine and start it again in a few mins as there will be still a lot of residual oil in the lines and around all the bearings etc. I had to leave my car for 4 hours before it would do it again.
Out of interest what grade oil did you put in.
Good luck mate and keep us posted.
