Oil warning lights indicates no oil pressure. So although the oil levels may be ok, it may be that the oil is not flowing quickly enough around the engine.
Usually if the general rule of thumb is that if the oil light is on, it's too late and the car shouldn't be driven.
Firstly do you have an oil pressure meter? what does that indicate. If it is generating good oil pressure then it may be a sensor issue.
If you have no pressure guage I would strongly suggest you check that oil is getting around the engine and that the oil pump is working ok, oil filter isnt blocked etc
