Default Loud ticking noise from engine

Hello, I literally just pulled out of my local Nissan and the engine immediately just starts making this loud ticking noise and at first it was only at low RPM up to 3000 but not idle. Now it's even louder and at every RPM including idle. Also, the car has lost a significant amount of power. No check engine lights, just loud ticks. 27,000 miles. I am due for an oil change though, but still. Help?

Also, if I take it to the dealership, while still under warranty, will they give me a rental car to use while they are investigating?

I do not believe it is an issue with lifters or rocker arms because that would change the sound of the exhaust, which the sound is exactly the same as normal.

Not to mention the oil temps are unnaturally high for an unknown reason. (after putting in 5 quarts)
