Sad thing is if it does turn out to be a spun bearing then the shop that possibly caused it will weasel out of it by saying that the coolant had already damaged it and they are not liable (i.e.- go pound sand).
Every time I have done it I change the oil twice after. No reason for changing it 3 times. But that is semantics.
