Oil pressure light flashes when started

Engine oil pressure light flashes when I turn the car on. It flashes for 1-4 times before going away. Only when I start the car. Do I need to add oil or an oil change? Does this happen to other ones? 2005 Infiniti g35 coupe.

Do you ever check your oil?
When is the last time you checked it?
If you can't remember the last time you had an oil change and have no idea how many miles have been driven since the last one then you need an oil change.

Lol this radio show had employees call in anonymous and tell stories. It was worse than I ever thought. They fired a Mike and hired a guy with the same name because they didn't want to make a new uniform. When people refused a service they would unplug something so it wasnt working when they left

Oil pressure light turns on when there is lack of oil pressure. This can be caused by a few different reasons but it's ALMOST ALWAYS because the vehicle is low on oil.

Checking your oil weekly is the second most basic aspect of owning a vehicle, first would be knowing how to put the gas in the tank.

Unless you don't mind shelling out $5k for a new motor that ran out of oil that is.
