Random lights switch on on instrument cluster
Is this normal? I'll be driving then like the check battery or check oil light will just suddenly flash for like half a second then it won't do it again till like the next day. What’s causing this and should I even care? Thanks! I have a 1997 Civic EX with 139,000 miles.

It's not normal.
Sounds like a loose connection in the dash. Is it just those two lights, or others as well?

Thanks for the response! Sometimes a third one flashes but its too quick for me to catch what it is. What would be a remedy for this?

If the oil is low, the absolute first time you'll know about it is when you're making a turn. The oil light will flicker on for just a split second, then turn off once the centrifugal force making the oil slosh weakens.
