you need do take the oil pressure switch off . install a manual oil pressure gage . then check oil pressure , cold and hot , cold will be higher / 30-40psi . hot at idle shouldbe around 8-12 psi or so. , if that checks out ok , you might just need a new oil pressure switch(it shoul be beside the oil filter . on the housing . if lower , your oil pump oe engine is worn out. time for a rebuild . hope this helps.

Check the fluid level in the Saturn. Check the water pump and thermostat for failure. If they are not working the engine will overheat and the light will blink.

Your oil light on your 96' Geo Tracker keeps blinking off and on and the oil is full what could be wrong?

The oil light is comign on to tell you the oil pressure is low. It is not a gauge to tell you oil is low. Your oil pump may be going out and when it loses pressure it sets the light off. Or you could have engine wear to the place that the oil pressure is running low enough to set the warning light off. You may have a bad oil pressure sending unit as well setting off the light so I woul dcheck the oil sending unit first, maybe hook a gauge to it and see what for oil pressure you have and try to determine why your light is coming on.
