Default Oil pressure light on EM1

The past few days my oil pressure light has come on for several seconds when I start my EM1, what could be causing this?, Is this something to worry about?

Low oil levels. My light for my EJ8 comes on when I have no oil at all.

Not really "low" oil pressure...more like "no" oil pressure.
Change your oil, look for leaks

It is more than a flash, it stays on for about 10 seconds then goes off, could the fact that I sea foamed it sunday and haven't changed the oil have anything to do with it, Also vtec seems to have lost some of its kick after the oil light started coming on.

Ok, I changed the oil, there isn't a problem now, it must have been the seafoam.

You're lucky you didn't destroy your motor. Read the directions next time.
