The problem might be with your oil pressure sensor. Check and replace if necessary.

yes...first check the basics like the sensor itself or a lose wire connecting the sensor could give such intermittent issues. If it is the case when the engine is hot, then your in trouble as it could be that you're losing oil pressure.

Danasa, the sensor should not be as difficult to find as you say it is, as it should be standard across many Toyota models. Take the car to a competent technician and they will help you sort this problem out.

If you are actually losing oil pressure I guess the most obvious reasons for it might be,

1. Blockages in the oil lines like sludge

2. Oil leak or your car is burning oil (look out for blue smoke)

3. Problems with the oil pump

4. Head gasket failure (check for oil in water or water in oil)

But most of the time its the sensor

Good luck !
