Default Issue with oil change light coming on...

This lite came up a few days ago, i immediately stoped and check the motor oil levels. It was still with in the X marks but ended adding 1qt of oil.
So i went ahead and did a complete oil change to see if the light would go away. After the oil change, I turned the ignition key on and pump the brakes 3 times with the final pump holding it in so it would reset.
It went away, but a few mins later it came back on, and goes away on its own.
Its an off and on thing now.... What could be causing this!? Last mod on car was cnc heads, still not tuned but dont thing that should matter much when it comes to the oil light popping up.


Any advice or knowledge would be greately appreciated.

Thanks!...

You have to pump the gas pedal 3 times, not the brakes
