an oil pressure light, even a solid one that's intermittent is something you want to get addressed ASAP! i had the same engine same mileage and when i got a light 2 months ago my engine was already toast. it happened when i was hard on it for about an hour, car started shaking, pulled over and light came on. light went away and it drove what seemed to be normally but when i went and pulled the filter right away it was full of metal.
hope your fate is better than mine though i really do!
if you're so close to an oil change i say drop the oil now and check the filter and housing carefully and see if it's clean. maybe it was just older thinned oil and the heat.
good luck!
