Theres an aftermarket oil cooler on mine and I have to keep the oil level just tipping the top of the sight glass or the oil light will sometimes come on.
Could your oil level be low ? - probably a stupid question on my part.

do an oil pressure test, if the pressure is good.....then touch the wire to the ground, if the light goes out when you touch it, wiring is good, and then its probly your sending unit
