did it come on since u got the oil changed or recently???if it was since it was changed, they prob forgot to reset the trip/oil. you can do this by turning on the ignition, and holding the trip/oil reset for 10 seconds. if it just started doing this, i would venture to say it is probably a sensor.

Yeah, if the trip wasn't set to zero, they didn't reset it.
Car running,
Car off,
Ingition turned to 'on' with car still off
Press and hold reset for 5-15 seconds
Oil light flashes, and you're done.
