Lifter maintenance - B234 700 1990

Question 1st.
Other than regular oil changes with good oil, is there anything I might do to keep the lifters clean and working properly on my B234?

Yesterday.
Started car.. One lifter apparently stuck... pretty loud. Actually had trouble running at first. Oil fairly thick.

Changed Oil and filter with Bosch & Valvoline 10/30 blend (added about 10oz. Marvel Mystery Oil). Started much better, noise still there. After a drive, it cleared up.

Probably just to drive it a bit harder. I tend to drive like an older man a lot (which I am).😆

Thanks
