Subject:Oil Pressure light & buzzer, Yikes! Mystery # 1

While cruising along at about 25 mph yesterday I was listening to Lenny
Kravitz and I noticed a strange tone in the song I had never heard
before.  Then I realized this was not some special musical effect but
was actually my Oil system freaking out.  I Immeadialty shut her down,
turned off Lenny.  As i was shutting her down, I glanced down at the
gauges only to see everything looking normal except the oil pressure
light.  I was only a few blocks from home so I started her up again. No
light no buzzer, nothing wierd at all. So I drove her around the
neighborhood taking her thru a few gears reving her up and down. So far
everything has been fine.Has this happened to any of you?  I run the
good german filters from the busdepot and Mobil 1.  The van has 136,000
miles on it.  The only thing I know of that needs repair is my exhaust
system has a few small holes in it...
