Hey, so I'm still trying to figure this car out, but just yesterday I was driving down the road and the oil lamp started flashing, but not an stable flash, it's kinda weird.
At first I thought it was maybe the sensor's wiring since it started turning on with the road imperfections, but when I arrived home it was with any slight movement.
This morning I checked the wiring and it's fine.
Could it be the oil pump?
I don't have a way to get a manometer right now, so is there any symptoms I could look out for?
 
That's a bad oil pressure sensor. You can buy them for around $15 nearly anywhere. Many of us have had the same issue and a new sensor resolves it 99% of the time.
Thanks bro. I just replaced it (pain in the butt to reach from the engine bay btw) and it seems like it's fine now.
