Why is low oil pressure light coming on when oil is fine; is not leaking oil, using oil and temperature is within normal range and only happens when I’ve been driving and then come to a stop.

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010.
The first important thing to recognize is that oil pressure and oil level are two different things entirely. Low oil pressure indicates that a measurement is being performed of oil pressure that is coming out to be lower than the engine needs to operate safely and without damage.
When you get this warning it is either because the oil pressure is indeed low, or the sending unit switch is showing low pressure in error. Testing is performed by removing the switch and performing an oil pressure test with a manual gauge. If the oil pressure on the manual gauge is within specifications, then you have no problem.… Other than a faulty sending unit. If the oil pressure is low you have internal engine concerns that must be diagnosed and addressed.
