Also as you had mentioned Fred, should I run the engine a bit to heat things up tonight and "THEN" change the oil,..or since the engine sounds rough, just go and change it cold??

First, how long does it take for the pressure build up? Others probably know better, but I would say it needs to be up within a minute.
If you run non-detergent oil, it must be changed hot. With detergent oil, it can help, but is not a requirement. Since you don't know what's in the engine, I would do the first change hot, if possible.
