Yes... you need to hook up a pressure gauge and watch the pressure. this could be a bad thing...

Take the van in and have them put a mechanical guage on your engine to check the oil pressure. It's possible the oil pump is not working properly and a mechanical guage would confirm or deny that as the problem. It's also possible there is a loose wire connection or possibly chaffed insulation letting it ground out. This would cause your problem as well.
Does it only do it when you are slowing down and starting off or maybe on a hard corner? If so it's likely only the oil moving around in the oil pan causing it to momentarily lose contact with the oil pump pickup tube. This is more of an annoyance than a problem. Hope this helps.

Why is the oil light coming on intermittently?

You either have a bad oil pump, too much clearance in engine components or a bad oil sensor.

Why would my oil light be coming on and beeping even though I have a full oil reservoir?

if oil level is ok, your oil PRESSURE is dangerously low.
Either the wrong oil was used, or your oil pump is going bad.

Ill bet on wrong oil since you just had it changed,

Why is my oil light on

Possible that the oil pressure switch is faulty as it can be clogged or faulty. If the pressure can be checked and is good then the switch transducer is faulty and needs to be replaced. Check the wiring and see if the connectors are bad , if so the clips can be tightened.

I own a 2000 Chyrsler Voyager 3.3 liter-V6 which is just about to roll on 120k miles. Two weeks ago my oil light would come on and ding repeatedly when I came to a stop at random times. I got an oil change...

Two possibilities, either you have a bad oil sending switch or you may have an oil pump that has worn out. I would try to replace the oil pressure sensor first, it's the easiest and cheapest.

I have a 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager. The oil light keeps coming on when the engine is at an idle, under 1000 rpms. If I am driving and the RPM's get up above 1000 the light will go off. I checked the oil...

could also be wrong type of oil but worst case is the big end bearings inside the engine have gotten to big to maintain oil pressure and as you guessed the oil pump could be worn out, i would try changing oil pump first.

Oil pressure switch where is it located on the engine. Plymouth Grand Voyager

Right beside the oil filter. Easily to change 10-15 min and cheap $15-20. Be sure to have extra rags to catch oil that will come out when you remove the unit.
