Check your oil level NOW. If it is low, you MUST add oil before you drive it another yard.

If it is just rattling at a stoplight, it could be: --worn motor mounts (not too serious); or problems in the upper end (a heavier motor oil or a can of STP can help this); or you might have a dirty fuel line--in which case you can also get a can of stuff from a car parts store, and run it through the engine to clean out your fuel injectors.

If it is the Oxygen sensor (doubtful), that is merely a "sparkplug-like" thing that is screwed into your exhaust manifold. You can easily unscrew it, and replace it with another one--although they are a little bit spendy: $30-$40 or so.

Good luck.
