replace your oil pressure sender like Evocrazy said, i think autozone has a replacement for around 10 dollars.
if that does not fix it then your oil pump is on its way out and needs to be replaced.
if you have a warranty then you should take it to the dealer

Not likely, but if it doesn't go away it's not a good sign. Is it making any louder knock type noises?
Low oil pressure would cause the the rods to knock. If it's not making any weired noises most likely it's just a sender.
Good luck.

My light has blinked a few times as well. I didn't know what it was at first b/c it blinked so fast. I caught it last night. It seemed to come on when I was braking kinda hard. If it is the sending unit, how do I know when I take it out?
The light has blinked maybe 3 times this week with me driving over 1000 miles.
