Oil is Kendall GT-1 20W50. At idle, flickering light, turn the engine off, then restart, the light no longer flickers. It might, or it might not, flicker at the next stop. I have never had a low oil pressure indication before. But the engine was out of service while the oil cooler seal was replaced and two pushrod tubes were replaced on the side opposite the oil pressure switch. That switch was undisturbed. When the van was again put on the road, the first time out, the light flickered at a stop. Am mystified why it has never flickered before, now suddenly it does. Engine has 114, 000 odd miles on it.
