Sometimes after car is driven for awhile, the oil light tries to flicker on.

It should be near the oil filter.

Thanks for the answer, I did find it on the top of the engine, on the right rear (facing from front), close to the firewall.

I'm glad you found it. They like to make it easy to find things (LOL).

Take care and let us know if you have questions in the future.
