Hi my oil light is flicking on and off at idle when hot, oil levals ok no leaks 800rmp

4lb when hot, jesus that's low, I'd swap the oil right away, is the car high mileage ?, may just be getting very worn or shit oil, try a thicker grade ie a 50 instead of 40 etc if it's got loads of miles on it, will help the pressure problem, don't need a huge amount of pressure at idle anyway, but wouldv'e wanted higher than 4lb idleally.
