1997 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Automatic

I had the oil changed on my 1997 cavalier today because the oil light was coming on when I was sitting still and when I take off again it goes back out. The lifters are making a little chattering I think it may be the oil pump. I could use a little help.

Hi there, the first thing you need to do is get the oil pressure tested with a mechanical gauge, do this and post the readings, cold idle, hot idle hot 2000RPM's.
