Consider a high tech engine flush to remove all the sludges from the crankcase pick up screen/oil return galleries/oil pump-when the engine oil light continues to pop up it means serious trouble with engine bearings/crankshaft journals/valve train components etc.

Get it flush and see what happens. could very well be the oil pressure sending unit that's acting up or a weak oil pump.
