Oil Pessure Valve? Rattle upon start up w/oil light.

I hadn't driven my '90 C900 sedan in about 8 months (started it every two weeks or so and let it run for 15 mins). I forgot how much I love my automatic sedan! Maybe it's the full S package that my '93 hatch doesn't have, or maybe I'm just crazy and in the minority here.
Anyhow...
She's running pretty well with one problem that didn't exist prior to her inactivity. When I start her up, there's a quick slight rattle from the engine and the oil pressure light comes on. If I let her idle, the rattle happens intermittently (maybe every couple minutes). I've heard about oil pressure valves getting stuck from being dirty (damn Fram oil filters!), do you folks think this is the case?
I plan on giving her a basic overhaul (all new radiator hoses, basic tune-up, etc.) and don't wanna go too crazy until I know what this is.
