The oil level sensor is on the rear of the engine on the passenger side near the starter. If the message continues to appear I would check the wires to the sensor or the plug that connects to the sensor for damage. If the car has LT headers it is not uncommon for heat from the headers to cook the wires/connector.

Could also be that the sensor has gone bad.
