Why does my oil light flicker on and off?

If the oil light flickers on and off while the vehicle is stopped or at an idle, there may be a problem with the oil sensor or the pressure is too low.

Why does my oil pressure drop when I stop?

Low oil pressure at idle only, will most often mean that the engine is low on oil. As more power is applied to the engine via acceleration, the pressure builds up inside the engine. High oil temperature can cause low oil pressure. A defective oil pump can also lead to low oil pressure at idle.
