Could be something simple like oil pressure switch.If not you would have to check oil pressure with master guage .

i had the same problem with one i had, if itted an after market oil filter ( think it was motorquip) it didn't have a oil pressure releif spring in the end of it, unlike the fram or genuine filters. i changed mine for a gen. one, and problem solved.(and it was cheaper than the after market one, lol.)
