I think that the oil light,lighting up, means that the oil pressure is low if it is flickering that means that it is right at the point that the factory has preset as a "concerned level"
. could be idleing a little low? or you could have a problem wits the oil pressure

    Hopefully the engine isn't gaswashed! Make sure your oil doesn't smell like gas. Other than that, get a good mechanical gauge on it and see what the actual pressure is.

Change your oil, 10-30 or 5-30
your choice, and check the pressure
with a guage, you might have a worn
oil pump, I blew a turbo from a worn
oil pump at Moab last year.
