The oil light, that is, the "genie" light, is an indication of low oil level (not pressure, the M112 engine has no oil pressure sensor). Our cars are known for the oil level sending unit failing, very common.
Unfortunately, they are expensive and not all that easy to change - you must drop the oil pan to get to it. I swear, if mine fails, I'm going to ignore it. I have a pressure gauge on everything I own.
THis is the part:
