Hi,
DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR w/the oil light on. Verify the oil level. If it doesn't show on the dipstick (ensure it's the OIL dipstick-usually yellow-and not the transmission - usually red). Add 1/2 quart, wait 5 minutes for it to drain, and check until oil is visible on the dipstick.

If it has oil, then your oil pump or oil sensor may be bad. You'll need a mechanic verify which.

Hello Mike,well let me tell you that is a really bad symptom this can be caused for not doing the oil change in the right intervals creating sludge (gum inside the engine) plugging the oil ducts everywhere causing bad lubrication in the engine recommendation remove oi pan and the oil screen clean it really good with degreaser or brake fluid (find it in the closest autoparts store) then make sure to put 5w30 oil high milage DO NOT PUT 20W50 OIL ON IT the thickest the worst it can get

I have a 97 supercharged the oil light keep comin stay on while Im driven the oil is full

The oil light is for low oil pressure, not low oil.
You need to have someone check the actual oil pressure with a mechanical gauge or change the oil pressure switch and see it the light still comes on.

Need help with oil light

If your oil light is on, then it'll mean either your oil level is below the recommended level; the oil pressure sensor is bad, there's a leak somewhere reducing the pressure of the oil); the oil pump is faulty
