sounds like your oil pressure sensor or your oil pump

Either that or its very, very low on oil. Oil pressure isn't really related to oil level, but if you don't have any oil to pressurize then the light will come on.

if your oil level is ok.. and the light flickers at idle, and goes away when you rev it, its a good possibility that its the oil pump.
