01 S80 intermittent oil lamp
The oil lamp has been coming on (together with the "No Oil Pressure" message in the DIM), only during idle after running for a half hour or so. When it does this (usually at stop lights), I put the vehicle in neutral and give it gas until the oil lamp turns off. It never comes on above 1000 RPMs or so.
The oil and filter in this vehicle has been changed religiously for 12 years every 7500 miles using full synthetic.
What are likely explanations for this problem? What should I ask the mechanic to do? If this is a common problem, what is a typical estimate to repair (at 3rd party garages)?

However, after running the car for a bit, the oil bubbles up as in this image album: Volvo Oil Bubbling - Imgur
Is oil bubbling abnormal?
