First, check the oil level and make sure it is between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. If the level is low, top it off with the recommended oil. If the level is fine, then the issue might be with the oil pressure sensor or the wiring. I would recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem.

It is not uncommon for the oil light to turn on after an oil change due to air bubbles in the system. Try driving the car for a few miles and then checking the oil level again. If the light persists, it could be a faulty oil pressure sensor or a clogged oil filter. In any case, it is best to get it checked by a professional.

I had a similar issue with my Insignia and it turned out that there was a leak in the oil pan gasket. This caused the oil pressure to drop and trigger the light. I would suggest checking for any leaks and getting the gasket replaced if necessary.
