It only Does it when it's warm. I adjusted the idle so it does happen @ 900-1000rpms. Man I hope nothing is wrong.

Have a mechanic hook up a mechanical guage and check it hot at higher rpms to see what your oil pressure is before you do anything else

Well I hooked up a mechanical gauge to the plugs on top of the Oil Filter. The sameplace where people stick their oil pressure senders for aftermarket gauges. It read 20psi @ idle with the oil light on. Oil is filled up. I could not find the stock oil pressure sender so I can check it in that location also. So far nothing to really worry about yet.

Do you have any CEL? I would let the dealer sort it out, this is not normal.
