Hi.

The oil red bulb is continuously blinking. I had check the oil level and it's normal. What could be the problem?

Worst ..
Engine oil gelling

Least:
Oil pressure switch bad.

I would suggest take it to dealership and avoid running as is.

Tell us a bit about oil change history and any recent work done to the engine.

Hi Salim and thank very much for your quote.

We found what was causing the problem for the oil gelling. The oil pan was opened and we found that the oil strainer was bent. The same was changed and the problem end.
