Hi mate, firstly mine has a knocking sound exactly the same as yours which is being sorted now. It is the anti roll bra link. I can almost guarantee its the same as yours. Bu too be safe check ur wheel nuts coz i had that problem with nuts b4 and sounds the same knocking sound.

Secondly, are you sure its the oil light? Because my brake pad light used t cum on the same as urs which i mistook for the oil light. It turned ou the i just needed to unplug '''low brake pad sensor'''.

The problem seems to be that you have low oil pressure. At tickover it may be 1 bar for example, and at 4k rpm 4 bar, seems that at low rpm you don't have enough oil pressure. I wouldn't drive it if the oil light is coming on as things will potentially go very wrong. Could of course be faulty sensor etc but it isn't worth risking it until you know.

The knocking could be worn rubbers somewhere, impossible to tell without looking.
