Could be a bad oil sending unit. Check to make sure it is not leaking. If you don't hear the motor start knocking when the light comes on, most likely not an internal problem, but an electrical problem.

Answer NO: 08-36-99 SUBJECT: Engine Oil Pressure Light Flicker DATE: Oct. 15, 1999 OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves adding a terminal/wire/vent to the oil pressure switch connector.
NOTE: THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.7L ENGINE.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: With a hot engine the oil pressure light may be on or flicker on at idle.
DIAGNOSIS: Verify engine oil pressure as described on page 9-21 of the 1999 Concorde/Intrepid/LHS/300M service manual (Publication No. 81-270-9140). If engine oil pressure is within specification perform the Repair Procedure.
PARTS REQUIRED: Qty Part No. Description 1 05017800AA Wire Terminal/Vent
REPAIR PROCEDURE: Raise vehicle on a suitable hoist. Remove engine oil pressure switch connector from switch. Remove sealing dart from the empty cavity at the rear of the connector. Pull terminal locking ring outward from front (switch) side of connector to gain access to terminal locking tabs. Install wire terminal/vent, p/n 05017800AA, in place of the removed sealing dart. Slide locking ring back into place. Attach the connector back on the oil pressure switch. Spot tape the wire/vent to follow the harness towards the top of the engine compartment.
I belive they didn't reset the oil light timer. I belive the sequence is 1. key on (not acc with engine off)
2. step on the brake pedal 5 times within 10 seconds. 3. key off. 4. start car. 5. check if the light went out. you may have to try it a few times to get it.
If engine is not ticking or knocking while running, likely the pressure sender is faulty. If changing it makes no difference, have actual pressure checked with a mechanical gauge.
is it low on oil? if so it could be an internal oil leak (wouldn't be able to see) or external but you didn't say anything about that... if level is good replave the oil pressure sensor
It means your air filter is loose. I had the same thing happen to me a few days after I had an oil change. I took it to the dealership and they said it happens all the time, especially if you have the oil changed by someone not experienced in dealing with Scions.
did the shop use the pressure device to pump out the old oil before they installed the new or, did they just drain the old in a drop pan?
