<< Volks,
 In my new (to me) 91 Westy, I changed the oil and have noticed that the
 oil light is now flickering on at idle which appears to be 800 RPM.
 I did change to synthetic oil, Royal Purple 10-30 with my normal Prolong
 additive. The engine has 141 K on it and runs very nice. As soon as I
 tap the accelerator pedal just a bump, the oil light goes off. Any
 ideas.

 Replace the .15 BAR oil pressure switch. That should take care of it.
