yeah try the alternator...the reason ur oil light drops is becuase ur engine is shutting off and it has no oil pressure...sometimes if u r airbag light comes on for no reason it is a sign that the spring assembly is going bad...happened to me...if that is the case more things on ur steering wheel and near it will stop sorking...ex..horn or cruise or lights on steering wheel...just somehting to think about

Are the dash board lights dimming also or the lights on the radio? I would also look into moving up to a higher amp alternator if you can. With the stereo system it could be putting more of a stress on the alternator.
