hate to ask this again...but did you check ur oil after the car has sat overnight?

These motors are a major PITA to check oil level after the motor hasn't sat for over 3 hours. If you let it sit for say atleast an hour...you still gotta pull the dipstick and clean many times to get a clean reading of where the oil level is at. And even after doing that...you have to mentally adjust your reading because not all of the oil has dropped into the pan (so it reads lower than you see it at).

i think your car needs oil, like izzydig said let it sit overnight then check it. whatever you do dont drive, will #$%#% the engine.

Oil Pressure Sending Unit. Light flickered on and off for me too, with no code. Turned out to be this part. Have it looked at.

I believe Nissan put out a Service Bulletin to get that replaced cause it leaks....when I first got my car that was the first reason my CEL came on and even though my light didn't flicker it fixed the CEL so mostly likely that is the only reason why it is flickering...they are problemsome...... <<<---(is that a word)?

If it isn't the oil level, then it is most likely this part. I had to replace mine because it was leaking... these units suck.
