Do not worry about it. The oil light on my '69 Square also flickers 
occasionally at idle after driving for approx the same time at high 
speed. As long as it just flickers and goes out as soon as the revs 
are increased slightly, everything is fine. What sort of oil do you 
use? I have found that multigrade oil tends to do this more that SAE 
30 or 40.
