Sound like it could be the oil sloshing around in the pan giving a false read. Where is the oil sensor located?

Yeah it is just the oil moving around, you may need to check the level of oil you have, or replace the sensor.

Sensor is right beside the oil filter. I assume you probably have a loose connecting plug since they just slip onto a threaded screw.

Has somebody been working up in the crankcase and left out your windage tray or sump baffles, whatever should be in there might not be in there.
