The oil light on the dash is turned on by a pressure switch at an absurdly low pressure -- around 4-5psi based on my gauges. You need to hook up a mechanical oil pressure gauge and find out how much oil pressure you are making.

After you check the level and are sure you're getting an accurate reading. It's a very simple job.

You have gotten a ton of good advice here. Take it to a good shop and get it checked out by a professional. Either you have a serious problem of the sensor is defective, either way it is a critical fix.
