Did you save an oil sample for testing?

100% agree with pulling the pan to check the state of the bearings. You need to know.

Also, you should see if you can pull the cap on the #1 main and see what the lower shell and the journal look like. (Note that you won't be able to get the upper shell out, but you should still see if there is a problem.)
