Drop the pan, clean the screen. As you don't know if rodents may have gotten into the pan or other debris. I've seen it before and I had a couple of wayward valve keepers in the pan that some mechanic must have dropped.

My car sat for 20 years. So there was a lot of goop in the pan that I had to scrape out. I also replacing a couple of quarts of ATF in place of a couple of quarts of oil and ran the engine through several (15+) warm up, cool down cycles in the garage. This flushed a ton of crap out of the motor. Then drained, and refilled with fresh oil. I use 15-40 Diesel oil, but everyone has there own preference.
