Still no hard single loose tappet-like noise on cold start ups.
Even so, earlier today the indicator was one increment below full, and another couple (literally) ounces brought it to perfect again. Vagaries of the first touch up: [i]no[/i] oil leaks or smoke. Considering the noise used to occur with almost every cold start, it's hard to explain otherwise, the only near as I can tell variable being oil level.
