Oil light comes on when idling?

You have low oil pressure. It can be a partially clogged oil filter, or it can be the oil pressure sending unit is defective. It can also be the oil pump is failing. Change the oil and use a quality filter such as Purolator, Wix, or Bosch. Make sure you are using the correct weight oil that Subaru recommends and nothing else. If that does not solve the problem then replace the oil pressure sending unit. It the problem persists seek professional help and have the oil pressure checked with a gauge.

I would say you have low oil pressure. Change the oil and filter. Use 5w20 oil or 5w30 whichever your owner's manual lists, and install a quality filter such as Motorcraft, Purolator, or Wix. Do not use any other weight oil. If the oil pressure is still low stop driving the vehicle and seek professional help.
