could be oil pressure sensor .or if lots of miles or beat hard oil pump could be bad.i lean towards the sensor.

Are you assuming the oil level is good because it was just changed? Double check the oil level.

I have noticed after 196000 miles on my car some of the indicator lights tend to come a little loose. If the car gets jarred around a lot i could see this happening. Its a process getting to all those lights behind the instrument panel. One of my speedometer lights would go on and off, I banged my fist on top of the dash above it and it came on several months ago and has stayed on so far.
