Whenever I drive for 10 or 15 minutes on the express or drive up long hills my oil lamp pressure light flashes for awhile and particularly increases when I am idling or i turn the A/C on. Lately it comes on when I idle but cuts off when I apply gas. I recently got a fuel injector cleaning product and it helped clear that but I still get the oil pressure light. I got an oil change and checked the oil so that is not it. I recently discovered that I have a crack in my Air Intake Hose could this be the issue? I am also going to clean my Throttle Body this weekend. Thank you!

Low oil pressure is a very serious problem. The first thing you have to do is have the pressure manually tested to determine if that light is accurate or not to see what you are dealing with.
