My 1999 dodge caravan with a 3.8l .Engin starts fine,good oil pressure.After about 15 minutes of running I get a oil light warning and the lifters begin to rattle. Could this be the oil pump or a friend told me that there is a oil pressure control valve inside the pan that controls the oil pressure so that oil gets to the top of the motor. please help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you in advance.

Have a great day!
