Could be faulty sender. Could be in need of top up. Oil too thin. It is normal in hot weather or with ac on for it to come on at idle here and there.

id say oil too thin.
does it do it after a while? ie you've been driving for a while and the engine is either hot or been in operating temp for quite a while? i had this, the pressure was fine cold but once it got warmed up and after 30min of driving it would go off. changed to 15w-60 oil and now its boootiful

I had the same problem with 10w40, I now run Castrol 15w50, all good. I think the 60 weight is getting a bit heavy for an OHC engine. Hope this helps.

yeah i agree that the 60 is probably overkill. id say 50 will be the best
