Sometimes when I come to a stop my oil light starts to blink, it stops if I turn off the car and start it again, oil levels are fine what gives?

Hi thibs 87,

Following are possible causes.
1. The oil pressure switch is faulty or wire connection is loose.
2. Oil strainer in the il sump is clogged.
3. Oil viscousity is too thick.
4. Oil pump is weak.

If you had used oil treatment and seldom drive the car, clogging is the highest possibility.
