Sounds like the sensor went out on ya. Had it happen to mine. Oil level was fine but the light wouldn't shut off. Replaced the sensor and it went away.

Just a quick question....have you taken the starter off any time lately? I've seen where if you take the starter off and let it hang, it can tug on the wires going to the oil level sensor making the light come on as well.

Ya actually they just worked on my tranny and I guess maybe they just let the starter hang and maybe pulled on the wires. Do you remember how much the sensor was?

If I remember right, it was around $10-12 dollars. You can however pry open the connector and re-connect the wires without breaking it. I tried and you can see why I got the connector, but it is possible.
