I am curious as to why my oil pressure light comes on and off while driving. At first it started shortly after getting my oil changed when I first started the car. It would stay on for a little while and then once the engine was warm it would go off. Now while driving it comes on and off randomly and stays on for a little bit and then goes off. I do notice a noise that soinds like a spitting noise, if that makes sense, when driving and when I first turn on the jeep. Recently I have noticed that it will do it when going up a hill. I have checked all my fluid levels and they are all full and my oil change isn't due for another 1000 miles. Anyone know the reason for this?

hows the oil level look? get a pressure guage and test if its steady or if the pressure is bouncing around.
