[T3] Oil light



After a full tune up 3 months ago, my oil ligh started to flicker
after some highway driving on the way home. So I called up the
reputable shop and they said, " as long as it happens just when idling
not to worry about it." Being the worrywart I am, I've monitored it
and even tried to adjust the idle and make it higher, thinking that
would help but it didn't...still a flicker at idle
So today I took it in to a dift shop (old german- one man shop) and
had the switch replaced and the wiring check.  On the way home no
light until after 10 minutes. Then, same thing a flicker. Am I mad to
care?  The 2nd mechanic said that if the light came back on it could
be my bearings.  Is this true? I'm running 30 weight oil and level
looks fine. Though mech number two said it was "thin"
Who can help me out? Thoughts? 70 fastback
