How about low oil pressure reading.

Either of the following.

1. Low oil level.
2. Engine Sludge
3. Bad sensor.

Default RE: Oil sensor

Either your sensor is bad, you have very low oil, or very low oil pressure.

Check your oil level, if it is OK, then that isn't the problem.

If the light is now off, drive the car gently to a trusted mechanic and have him check the oil pressure. If the oil pressure is well within specs then have the sensor replaced.

If the oil pressure light is on, do not drive the car but have it towed to your mechanic. Low oil pressure and driving don't mix.
