My low pressure indicator light comes on at random after what appears the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature. It only comes on at full stops and goes off immediately after I accelerate. It will also go off if I t put the car in neutral while sitting at a stop light. When I check the oil level it is always fine. What should I check for? Thank you for your assistance.
