I wouldn't start it either.
After long periods of not starting the engine has no oil pressure the first few moments. Instead I change my oil BEFORE starting the car when I take it out. Then I disconnect the igniter plug, crank it over for a few seconds to let the pressure rise, reconnect the plug then I start the car. It starts like a charm when I do this, no tickling sound and the oil pressure light doesn't stay on. |

I've never had any of these issues. As a stored car gets older typically you will hear some valve clatter, but only briefly when you first start it up. The noise will abate as soon as the oil starts to circulate. In spring I let it run until warmed up, then do the oil change after it is up to temp. |
