Best Answer

Because the oil pressure is dropping below a pre-determined point at idle. Might have the oil sending unit checked ... could be (rare) that your oil pump is not running at peak efficiency. If that is true, then you are also not getting enough oil circulation when the engine is running at highway speeds.
