From what you’ve described, the problem sounds like you are loosing oil pressure to the engine and the light and noise are indicating that there is a problem. The fact that you are full of oil tells me that the oil pump pickup tube is clogged or the oil pump is bad causing the pressure to drop after the oil get s warmed up and thins out. Have the oil pressure checked to see if you need to have the oil pump and pickup tube replaced.
