      i would check oil pressure for sure to make sure that your pump is working. you need a mechanical oil pressure tester gauge. youd probably have to get one online. im not sure if auto parts store have them available.

        If all that checks out then perhaps the anti drain back valve on the oil filter was leaking or failed. As for the noise, if you have good pressure, then the engine might be due for a valve adjustment if it has never been done before.

          +1 on checking the actual oil pressure.

            This morning I didn’t notice the oil light flicker, and the engine sounds normal.

              Did you check the wiring going to the oil sender?

                This all leads back to getting a mechanical oil pressure gage and checking for pressure.

                  I’m going to check the wiring, switch, pressure this weekend and come back with the data._x000D_

                        Don’t have the FSM man, but it would be wise to invest in one for yerself.
