    Same problem here. I'm thinking it has something to do with the idle being set to low. I've read many posts on the oil pump, sending unit etc being replaced with no luck. Going to talk to my mechanic on how to up the idle speed because it doesn't seem to do it unless the car is below 750rpm.

    I notice the same issue and when I rev it up, it goes away.

    I have been told I need to replace 4 sensors.

    I also have problems with my temperature guage.

    Love the car...hate the car!

    I have the same problem. The oil light comes on when the car is @ at stop or slowing down. Sometimes it even goes dead. When i rev the RPM's up the light will go off. My oil is showing full. Has anyone got a solution yet?

From other sources:
The oil light that only comes on at idle or stop is due to a dirty or faulty Oil Sensor in the oil pan. They get gunked up due to a bad design and sludge build up. Easy to fix, just replace or have replaced at next oil change.

Why does my oil light come on after the car warms up?
Why does my oil pressure light came on when I stop?
Low pressure means there either isn't enough oil in the system or the oil pump isn't circulating enough oil to keep the critical bearing and friction surfaces lubricated. If the light comes on while at speed, do your best to pull off the road quickly, turn the engine off, and investigate the problem to avoid damage.

If this is it check you oil level if it low add some. Also if it has been a while like over 3,000 miles you would be better of to have the oil changed.
Running engine low or out of oil will cause servier engine damage so don't wait.

Oil light keeps coming on at an idle
ok. oil ight is probably nothing more than a faulty pressure switch.You can have pressure checked at same screw in port. 15psi is ok...just. very cheap to replace. Ign control module is probably the cut-out fault. You cant really test it; repair by substitution is the trick.

Oil light comes on, then engine ticks, then car cuts off
When you got stuck in the snow did it impact hard (quick stop or small drop like a deeper ditch)? If this is the case it could be the sending unit might have been dammaged in some way. I would have the shop take a look at.
