This is because the oil pump is not pumping enough oil. It is either very low on oil, or the oil pump is going out. The light comes on when the oil pressure drops below 5 psi. This is very low. It should run about 25-30 psi at an idle.

OIL LIGHT KEEPS FLICKERING WHILE IDLE

Most likely your sensor is too sensitive and detects the low oil pressure that exists in idle .... you oil pump is not functioning fully and at idle fails to produce the right pressure. Lastly,your idle could be set too low. try increasing the idle slightly (you don't want it too high) and see if that solves the flickering light problem

How do you reset the oil change light in 91 caddy devill

Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes and hook it back up that should reset any lights on the dash because it resets the computer. If the oil light stays on, you might have low oil or maybe even a faulty oil sending unit that is tell the computer there is no oil when there is oil.
