The warning light is for low oil PRESSURE not oil level.
Most commonly either-
1/ the oil is old and degraded or of the wrong viscosity (when was it last changed?) .
2/ the oil pressure switch is faulty.
3/ the oil pump is faulty.
4/ the engine is worn (especially the big end bearings) and unable to maintain pressure.
