That can cause flickering oil light. These are inexpensive and easy to replace. They’re usually located next to the oil filter. If replacing the switch doesn’t fix the problem, then you’re going to want to take the vehicle to a shop so an oil pressure gauge can be installed in place of the switch, and the real oil pressure can be determined.
