'87 300sdl Oil Light Comes On

My '87's oil light keeps coming on. Plenty of oil on the stick (not above high mark) and oil pressure is normal / the dash gauge.Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Ned

If the car has an oil pressure sensor , I would replace it.

The light is for oil level, not pressure. That said, I agree on replacing the sensor.
