Nobody wants to touch this one...
My oil light came on in high 90's weather at idle (8PSI). just slight increase light went out.
Talked with mechanic, probable not screen on pickup (that would be more likely at high RPM under accelaration).
Oil pump (10 hrs labor plus Jag 400 plus $$ for pump).
What I did (my decision for me only) was use a heavier oil grade.

No oil light problem since.
