oil light turning on and off

[Italianbred73]

Today I changed the oil on my 97 fzj, after driving it for a few minutes the low oil light came on for a few seconds then back off, it did it 3 times then stayed off, I checked the oil level and it is on the full mark, last time I did the oil change the same happened.
Is this a sign that the oil sensor its starting to fail or is something some what normal. Does anybody had a similar issue?, the oil pressure is in the normal level.
Thanks

How much oil did you use for the change? The owners manual says to check the oil level with a warm engine, I wait a few minutes after shutting it off.

I tooked to the Toyota stealership and when I got home I check the level and it is full.

The strange thing is that only happens right after the oil change, then nothing until the next oil change

Normal. The low oil light is notoriously sensitive. Some trucks are worse than others, I wouldn't sweat it.

x2, the light just reminds you to check the dipstick. The dipstick is more accurate.

Dumb question. Where is the oil light? I've never seen mine. Maybe im not looking good. Does it come on with ignition on?

Here's a pic of my instrument panel while the ignition key is in the "accessories" position. The low oil level indicator light is to the far right, next to the parking brake indicator light.

I've known a few dipsticks that haven't been very accurate.

Thank you, I won't worry about anymore.
