you need to have your oil pressure checked. If your pump is going out, it wont be supplying the right amount of pressure so the light will come on. Better do it fast before you blow your mtoro

I agree with NXRacer, first thing you want to do is hook up a mechanical oil pressure guage and check the true oil pressure.
The oil pressure warning light stays lit untill you reach 12-15 psi (which is way low !!!)
You just might be lucky and have a faulty sending unit.
BTW, any funny noises coming from under the hood ?
