    My oil light is coming on and off. I checked my oil and my dip stick is showing the oil level is good. Any ideas why the oil light would be coming on and off? Thanks in advance.

    It's a sign of a wearing engine most likely. Does it flicker first and come on when it's hot?

    Not so much of a flicker, just when I’m riding and I press the gas it may come on for about 5secs then it goes out. I let the car run idle for about 30min today and periodically pressing the gas and there was no light. I was just wondering if my oil sensor needs to be replaced.

    Try the oil sender near the oil filter . Could be as simple as that .
