It could the the oil pressure sending unit. They frequently go bad on these cars. Replace it with one from the dealer. Dont replace with a cheap one from a parts store because there not of good quality. You may end up spending more but its will last much longer in your car

I had same issue/ had the sending unit replaced BUT days later came on again, contacred my brother in law who is mechanic in Ohio and stated to take it back to mechanic and have him also change the terminal vent wire havent had issue since, to be honest my mechanic did it for free cause he stated he should have changed that CAUSE WHEN THEY GO BAD THE LITTLE SEALING DARTS GET LOADED WITH OIL AND CLOGS. JUST TELL UR MECHANIC TO REPLACE THE TERMINAL VENT WIRE AND UR ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED.. BELOW IAM SENDING U REPAIR PROCEDURE AND PART NUMBER

This bulletin involves adding a terminal/wire/vent to the oil pressure switch connector

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

With a hot engine the oil pressure light may be on or flicker on at idle.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:

Raise vehicle on a suitable hoist.

Remove engine oil pressure switch connector from switch.

Remove sealing dart from the empty cavity at the rear of the connector.

Pull terminal locking ring outward from front (switch) side of connector to gain access to terminal locking tabs.

Install wire terminal/vent, PART NUMBER: 05017800AA, in place of the removed sealing dart. Slide locking ring back into place.

Attach the connector back on the oil pressure switch.

Spot tape the wire/vent to follow the harness towards the top of the engine compartment.
