Default "Low Oil" light comes on???

Recently my low oil light started coming on when I'd start the engine after a couple of days or more of sitting. The oil level was reading full so I'd kill the ignition and re fire the engine too get the icon to go off and all was fine. I recently changed the oil (Mobile1 5W-30) and noticed that the same pattern is apparently continuing only now it's every time I start up fresh. I'm presuming it's the sensor and it's on it's way out. DO YOU AGREE??? What are your thoughts and where is the sensor? Thanks, Frank

This happend to my car and yes it was the sensor, after I changed it everything was ok, the sensor is bolted in the oil pan on the left side of the engine.

Mine show up once in a while when I first start, but instantly goes out and pressure is up to 50 psi. Only does it if i don't run it for a while.
