Default Oil light flickering RIGHT as I start my car.

When I started my car to go somewhere this afternoon the oil light flickerd REALLY quick, RIGHT as I started my car. Like when you turn your key to accesory, how the cel, abs, battery, light come on. The oil light stayed on for like a second or 2 RIGHT after I started my car... I checked my oil and I have plenty. What could this be? Anything wrong?

sure it didnt do that before?

check ur oil pressure switch located on the back of your block, should be near the oil filter.
check the plug/wiring and the switch itself.
