Either very low oil level or the oil pump is not functioning correctly. Get this checked at a garage asap as oil pump failure could destroy the engine.

Although it could also be the temperature of the oil getting to hot, things to get checked are the oil temp switch and oil cooler if your car has one.

Hope this helps
Regards
Dan

What does the oil beeping light mean?
the flashing, beeping oil light is oil pressure, not level. low oil pressure means that the oil is all there, but its not flowing properly through the engine. dirty oil, a dirty oil filter, heavier than normal weight oil, a failing oil pump- any of these could be the culprit

Oil light flashing and beeps. it only comes on after driving a min or two
Make sure there is enough oil in it! This is the main reason the oil light comes on flashing and beeping. Possibly a faulty oil sensor if the oil level id fine.

The oil light keeps flashing with a beep beep sound. i changed the oil pressure switch and the problem still continues.
DON'T DRIVE IT !!!! DON'T START IT AGAIN UNTIL YOU PUT A TEST GAUGE ON IT. you MUST have a gauge put on it to check for pressure. flashing and beep beep mean no pressure... not good. explain in detail how/when this happened ??
