with the oil contaminated I would change the oil again [HOT], and add 8OZ of marvel mystery oil to hopefully clean up the sludge which I guess is causing the lifters to not hold oil.

this is what happens when carbon/sludge get into the lifters.

give the oil time to drain out hot. I would also replace and clean up the crankcase vent/PCV system.
