The only time I've seen the oil light flicker was once on off ramp 
cloverleaf going way to fast, and once on I-84 coming into Idaho for the 
Invasion.  Maddy and I had struck out alone from Pendleton and been 
holding a steady 70+ MPH for 3 hours through the mountains.  We pulled 
onto the shoulder when we spotted some Invaders, and that green light 
flickered at idle.  Never happened since.
