Low oil pressure light flickering/flashing/ and sometimes solid?

My 05s giving me a hassle light flickers like it's glitching but sometimes it flashes sometimes it's solid I've checked my dipstick, tried installing a new oil filter and topping off with new motor oil. I'm assuming my oil pressure switch is my next thing to give a shot at.
This has been going on since Thursday and although I know I shouldn't be im still driving it with no issues except for the light.

Recent work done includes installing rv6 jpipe and rv6 hpdc's an oil change I did afterwards, new app sensor and rear wheel bearings. I was thinking maybe I made a mistake a put the wrong type of motor oil but would this cause the same affect 2 weeks after the fact?

Any advice or tips based on experience?

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge

How often have you run the engine low on oil?
