You shouldn't be getting the light with 10W-30 weight oil.

The first thing to do is to change out the oil pressure switch. They tend to go bad and the replacement part is inexpensive. After that, if you are still getting the light, have a gauge installed on the engine so you can see what is going on - stupid light.

i would say you hit the sensor and slightly broke it when doing a repair like some tranny work or something
