OIL SENDING UNIT(A SENSOR TYPE SWITCH LOCATED ON ENGINE) MAY NEED REPLACED ASAP FOR OIL LIGHT STAYING ON. IF YOU PUT TOO MUCH OIL IN IT WILL OVERHEAT DUE TO VALVES BEING DROWNED BY EXCESSIVE OIL-CHECK TAILPIPE FOR WET OIL RESIDUE. WILL LOSE POWER ON ACCELERATION.

Have a reputable garage check the oil pressure with a manual oil pressure gauge. Very well may have worn internal parts, or weak oil pump. Thats the only way to know for sure.

My oil pressure low light keeps comming on and the engine starts to run hot. we changed oil and used the marvel mistery oil.

well there comes a time in the life of everything when it is just beyond help. it has done its job and needs to be retired, marvel mystery oil notwithstanding. think about it, if that stuff really worked no one would ever buy a new car, just keep dumping in that mystery stuff and keep on truckin. you may want to consider finding a similar engine, albeit with lower mileage, in a junkyard and paying someone to take the old one out and put the newer one in. there are at least two folks running ads for this service on my local big city craigslist, for sale auto parts, and having done it once or twice myself I would gladly pay another person 750 bucks to tear an engine out and put another one in.

Oil pressure light comes on when car is hot

if you have alot of mile son this car its worn crankshaft bearings. Try some oil additive this will help keep the viscosity of the oil up. if you have alot of miles drain a quart and add a quart

Oil Light Keeps Coming On

It could be an oil pressure sensor faulty, just giving off bad reading when the level is actually correct.
