Could be.
If the engine goes to hot say 5 minutes after starting then back to normal, the thermostat could be slow to open, or you could have air pockets in the cooling system.
The ticking is lack of oil or oil pressure, or a worn out bearing or lifter inside the engine.

Valve lifter noise, if it goes away after a minute don't worry about it.

Charge it all the way up. Then take it to a auto parts store and get the battery and starter and alternator tested.

The ticking noise you are hearing is coming from the valves its not a big problem and the thicker oil may make the noise go away. Try using 10W30 oil if the noise still doesn't go away your valves may need to be adjusted which is recommended to be done at 60,000 miles anyway. Have a good day.

it may need a lifter or valve adjustment when cold they will tick or knock depending on how loose or worn out then when it warms up they swell with heast and noise stops. after adjusting or replacing it will stop making noise

u need to tighten the belt find the adjuster and tighten a little bit

If it's not a loud ticking noise, it could be your lifters or valve pushers, which would mean your oil is too thick to get there when it's cold. Change your oil viscosity to a lower indice (if it's 10W30 go with 5W30 for example) and let me know what happens.

I would have you oil pressure checked. The oil pump or bearings could be going out. The lifter noise on this car usually will go away faster then 5 minutes. I think the noise is lasting a little to long.
