Oil Light
Every once in a while couple times in the last 2 or 3 weeks when I would come to a stop or park car engine running oil light would come on then go out when I started moving again. Then get back into car a few hours later and could drive around for a week before it would happen again just wondering what it might be?

What does it mean when your oil light comes on then goes off?
If the oil light flickers on and off while the vehicle is stopped or at an idle, there may be a problem with the oil sensor or the pressure is too low. ... If the oil was indeed low, the light should turn off. If not, it may be that the engine bearings are worn.
