Mood: I've bought a 900SL!
If you getting oil light flicker then it could be your oil is too thin or your mains/oil pump are worn (both will drop oil pressure). suggest you drop the oil and try a decent full synt at 15w50 as the latter is a bit dearer to investigate /fix. The synt oil (use a proper full synth such as Motul or Silkolene ester base rather than a cracked mineral , it will say ester on the back in the blurb) should hold viscosity better in high temps.
Cant remember what my old SL ran at but missus mini cooper (proper brit ver) breaks 110 in hot conditions. PS there could many other issues but the oil drop is probably one of the cheapest and cant hurt. gud luck
