About a month ago I got my valve cover gaskets and rear main seal redone on my 93 WD21, and shortly after getting it back I noticed that my oil light would come on when I would stop and idle after a few minutes of driving around then turn off when I accelerate. It has been running totally fine with no noticeable loss of power, roughness or anything like that and I just went on a 3 hour road trip last weekend where it ran great the whole time even when off-roading,doing doughnuts and stunt driving. In other words it still seems to run as great as always, but it still has me concerned to a small degree as it wasn't doing that before. I already had the sending unit replaced with a genuine Nissan part and had an oil pressure test performed by Nalley Nissan and they said the oil pressure was on the low end, but was still within range where they weren't really sure if it should come on at all. They also changed the oil to the most heavy duty oil available, but it was still coming on. I turned the idle control a couple of clicks counterclockwise and idled it up to around 850-900 RPM's +-. it looks like it pretty much stopped the light from coming on for the better part as long as the A/C is off. If I turn the A/C on, the oil light comes on and stays on until I turn off the A/C. Additionally, the strangest part is that before I adjusted the idle control, when I was sitting at idle and the light would flicker on and off, if I turned on my headlights, it would stay on longer and brighter. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Is it possible that the light coming on has something to do with the electrical system more so than low pressure? Nalley Nissan did extensive diagnostics and really didn't sound any alarms, but I still want to troubleshoot the problem.

My oil light flashes off and on sometimes when I am sitting and idling. It still seems to be running fine though. Should I be concerned about this, and what is a better option than taking it to Nissan and possibly have them bend me over?
