no.... i've checked, level is good.......when this first started happining, it would stay on with all the other idiot lights, then flicker on and off, then go off. as time goes by it got worse, now I start light goes off like before and then comes back on and stays on...........sometimes I can make it flicker by turning hard to the right or left, when driving.

P.S. seems like it got worse with the cold weather.......or maybe thats just me.

Usually when the oil pressure is bad, the light will come on once the motor is warmed up and oil gets thinner.
I doubt thats the case, but I would have my oil pressure checked.

very surprised no one said ......." hey if your oil pressure light is on, your oil pump may be going bad"........
I've checked out this sea foam additive looks pretty good for cleaning internals, so I guess we'll see what happens.
any other input would be greatly apprieciated
