Unhappy Oil temperature light. HELP!

Hello everyone.
well here is my problem.
The other day I started my car and drove it for a few feet, then the check oil light came on. I stopped and check the oil level, and it was low, so I parked my car back. I went with a friend and got oil do the oil change. I changed the oil and all was good. So now again while driving the oil light came on again. I have checked and the oil level is ok. There are no visual leaks or anything.

It only comes ON when I start driving it. I can have it running for hours without showing me the light, but when I start moving it, it comes ON.. Even though, today I started the car( it was freezing from the rain and snow, probably -10'F) and I drove it from work without showing me any light, Could it be just a sensor?


Anybody knows what could be causing this?
Thanks in advanced for any help

Israel

Default Problem resolved!:)

Check engine Oil pressure. test and diagnose faulty Oil pressure sender.

I took it to the shop and they charge me $162.92 to replace it, and problem resolved.

Part $30
labor: $130
taxes: $2.92
