Default Oil problem????

My low oil light has gone on before I actually change my oil the past couple times. It went off today 1500 miles after my last oil change. My car is not leaking and just hit 71,000 miles. Is this normal???

Those sensors just suck sometimes and start going on for no reason. I changed mine once when it was doing that.

Mine Oil Change Light Just started going on and off 2day also. I just had my oil changed 3days ago and my car is at 73,000 miles. What do I go to change the sensor or fix the problem?

Well I have to add oil because it really is low when it comes on so it can't be the sensor.........

Well, you didn't say originally that it was ACTUALLY low on oil when the light comes on.

If you have no external leaks, its either the rings, valve seals or PCV valve.
