The oil should be changed, of course, but that wasn't the real problem ... overheated cylinders, galled pistons, overheated cylinder heads, and warped sealing surfaces are the immediate areas of concern ... even if rod bearings weren't damaged in the ordeal! If, after an oil change, immediate valve adjustment -- not optional -- MANDATORY ... and startup from complete room temperature cool ... spitting/exhaust leak type sounds are heard, then just shut the engine off and have it towed to a shop, or pull the engine your self for a compression and leakdown test, and probable teardown!
Ultimately, pulled head studs from the Magnesium case are the real worry ... and that would neccesitate a complete rebuild!
