Thanks for checking back. Not really. I changed the oil again, used 0W40 this time, and added a can of Liqui Moly anti friction additive (just because). Started the car a few times, let it idle, but I haven't taken it out for a drive yet. There is a brief rattle upon startup, but it goes away as soon as the engine turns over. The car sits there and purrs.
It takes longer now, but the oil light does come on after awhile. I was told by my indy, and others here, that the symptoms suggest bearing damage. Don't know what to make of it.
