The oil light will report a low oil level / volume when it lights, it does not measure oil pressure. If oil level is low, the warning light will stay on so you're probably fine. Check your owners manual for the proper procedure to check the level using the sight glass, it is not intuitive.

. . . . Any ideas?
There are plenty of threads discussing this. I am presuming that you put the manual recommended amount of oil in when you changed it. This exact reason is why I put the entire jug of oil in the pan. I believe that it's not "overfull" enough to cause issues, and my light stays off.
