The oil pressure is too low. It can be dirty oil filter, not enough oil in the engine and failing oil pump. I would start with engine oil level.

How do you get the oil light to turn off on a 2003 Ford Escape?
Find out why it is on. The oil light being on may indicate low oil pressure. It may be nothing more than a bad oil pressure sending unit, but it may be more serious. You need to know why it is on. Check your oil level, and if it is full, I would look at the oil pressure sending unit and see if it is connected or leaking. If all looks good seek professional help.

Why would the oil light be flashing on a 2003 Chevy Tracker 2 days after an oil change?
I would immediately check the oil level. If you find that it is not low of oil, immediately replace the filter with a new name brand filter. AC/Delco would be my choice in this vehicle. If that does not help, replace the oil pressure sending unit.
