From what i have heard: stop driving it immediately
9-5 upto and including MY 2004? do need the updated PCV 6 kit installed because those engines are prone to turning oil into sludge.... killing the engine
the oil light "flicker" appears to be a warning sign that the engine is about to die....
so: i suggest you stop driving it immediately and drain the oil... drop the oil pan & pick up screen to make sure its clean (if not clean: pull the head cover and ....clean it all!!!!) & install a new PCV 6 kit ( think all parts plus oil & filter will run you less then $100 on eeuro... compare that to an engine rebuild....)
i'm not a 9-5 expert ( more c900 here) but we just bought a 2003 wagon and it did not have the PCV 6 update so i spent some time talking to a number of experts about what & how...
good luck!
