Could be the oil pump, but then Vanagons are
notorious for low idle oil light flickering.
USe 20-50 wt oil.

I had a Vanagon that had a flickering idle light
and the shop that tested it concluded that
everything was OK- the pressure switch was OK,
etc.

I switched to the heavier 20-50 and it went a
way.
