The starter should engage when starting, and disengage when its started....

Does it just turn over and over and over, then it starts..... Or hangs up? The oil isn't the problem.... Actually a good choice (use mobil 1 myself) make sure the starter is on good and tight... The starter gear looks good right? If it just turns over and over and over..... At a good rate?
