Check oil level.
Check oil psi.
Check for loose wires to oil sensor.

I just posted not but a month ago about this same exact topic..

I found that if I increased my idle with the idle speed screw on the throttle body, that this went away..

I think it was because when I push in the clutch, the engine goes to idle speed, and the power required to run the assist on the brakes draws, and the engine idles lower/rougher because of it.. causing the oil lamp to come on.

Had the oil changed recently. Is a good habit with an auto trans, to always shift into Neutral then? (I always had a manual trans) ?

Thanks.
