after driving the car for 30 minutes or so, when i come to a stop the oil light flickers. when i accelerate it goes away. the idle will get a little rough, but once i add a little gas with my foot on the break and bring up the RPMs it goes away. I DID check my oil level everyday and the level is fine. I also just got an oil change done at midas and they try telling me that its normal for the miles (130k). so what should i do? thanks

I would check the idle speed. You may not be producing enough rpm's? I've had cars in the past do that same thing....good luck

sounds to me like a bad oil sending unit or the wire going to it is loose.
