Change the sensor...however, I bet you are using very thin oil or you oil pump is going bad.  Have the oil pressure tested.

Oil light is blinking. Not due for an oil change for another 1000 miles.

Have you checked the engine oil level? This could be due to low engine oil or just a faulty oil pressure switch. Hope this helped...

Oil light flashing on dash

check for proper oil level in engine with dipstick if ok.then install mechanical oil pressure gauge on oil pressure sending unit to verify proper oil pressure, if pressure ok. then replace the sending unit/sensor, if pressure not ok. , you may need to remove engine oil pan to check for restriction on oil pick-up tube screen. if ok replace pump. but also check clearance on mains and connecting rods.

Oil level light stays blinking on toyota previa 1993

most of these models have 2 oil lights.The red one is oil pressure,if flashing or on when engine is running,it is usually serious.check oil level,but usually caused by blocked pickup screen(a common toyota fault) when services aren't done.The orange oil light is tripped by an oil level sensor on the side of the sump when the oil level is low.If the oil level is ok,note this is a common fault especially if oil changes have been missed,and/or a petrol engine oil used and sludge builds up,sometimes using an additive for flushing prior to oil change can help,but may not work on 1st oil change.
