Question Oil light?

Today I changed the oil in my car and when I turned it on the light came on and only stays on if the RPMs are below 1K. As soon as I accelerate and it goes above 1K RPM the light turns off, but when I stop it turns back on. Any ideas of what the problem could be. Thanks in advance.

Re: Oil light?

Do you have enough oil? Did you check the oil level after the filter filled up? Maybe it's a pressure problem which means either the oil pressure sensor is gone or the oil pump is gone.
