Quick update to close the loop. I put the Aero up on ramps yesterday and dropped the oil and changed the filter. Refilled it with Mobil 1 0W-30. I started it up this morning and the oil can light went out in about 5 seconds. The possible causes were thickening of the 10W-40 when cold or possibly a dirty or otherwise restrictive oil filter. I had a Motorcraft filter on the car and replaced it with a Fram. Not a big fan of Fram but it was what they had on sale so I bought a couple. All is well for now.....except my radio is still on the way out.
