This is prettty normal. It just means that the engine oil is warm
and its viscosity has decreased (normal). A new engine will not
usually do this, but a worn engine will have larger operating
clearances allowing the oil pressure to fall below the sensors trip
point. Don't worry about it as long as the light goes away as soon
as the engine comes off idle.

This probably indicates that your idle is set too low.
