5W-30 is a good choice, you might need a block heater to allow oil to
flow earlier at startup.
Just on the odds it's something else. When you first start your car
and it's ticking loud, go have a listen in the engine compartment.
See if the sound is coming from the distributor, or which end it
seems to be from. Helps to have a mechanics stethoscope, Canadian Tire
should have one, they are cheap and help you pinpoint noises.

My 96 xj with 141k miles sounded like a diesel. Yesterday with the engine
ideling I was pouring one can in and before I had half of it in the engine
noise stopped! I could not believe it. I went out and started it every hour
or so just to see if it was still quiet.

Be careful with that stuff and follow the directions. It gets into the rings
and sets up, in that way it improves comression quite a bit and cut down blowby,
but the long term costs may not be worth it. It also sets up in small oil passages
if you let it. Used that to keep my old C-10 alive for about 4 years till I sold it.
And yes it worked well. But the goal was to keep the POS alive till I saved up
enough to replace it. Cheaper than an eventual engine rebuild.

Re: 99 TJ Engine Noise
What do you guys think about synthetic oil for my jeep....would you
