Hello,
If you oil levels are ok and your not burning or loosing oil then they only thing that it could be is that you have a faulty oil switch, try replacing the oil switch hopefully this should make the red light go out.

Actually the port to the switch could be clogged. You could remove the switch and start it for a few seconds and see if oil blows out of the hole. These switches usually don't fail but leak instead. The fix is to blow air in the switch hole and open it up.

What is essential tips to maintain your engine oil levels ??
As long as you check your oil levels regularly, about every one or two weeks, and keep up with the oil and filter changes when they are needed the oil levels usually don't need much more than that.
Be aware that older, higher mileage engines can and will loose small amounts of oil. This is usually because the internal engine parts have worn through time so tiny amounts of oil can get to when it normally wouldn't be and leak past gaskets or burn in the cylinders.

Oil light on 2006 Chevy Aveo but oil levels are fine
The oil warning light is for oil pressure, not the oil level in the engine.
Your owner's manual will explain it in detail.
You need to have the oil pressure checked with a mechanical gauge or replace the oil pressure sending unit to see if it is faulty.

The oil warning light comes on when you start the car and stays on for 1 - 4 minutes then goes off. The oil was just changed and oil levels are good. Why is the light coming on?
You have a sensor taht may be unplugged or the connector is loose-it is probably somewhere near the oil filter or the oil pan

Oil pressure on my audi a4 is low after been service what will cause this
First check the Dip Stick and see where your oil levels are, if its low, then add more Oil as mechanic may not have replaced the correct amount after service. second, if you can reach your Oil filter in the engine just give it a tighten with your hand as it should only be hand tight. and thirdly look for any signs of an oil leak, either Oil spill inside the engine or under the car. Generally Oil levels should be full after any car service. Good Luck.

92 voyager check gage light
That is the oil pressure gauge not the oil level gauge. Sometimes they can act that way when the oil is thin. When is the last time the oil was changed? Try using a heavier weight oil. When engines wear they require thicker oil. What size engine does you voyager have?
