Make sure you replace the oil filter with a genuine one when you do the oil and filter change. Fresh oil and a correct new filter will probably cure your problem.
If it doesn't then you need to examine the other possibilities suggested, but I'd do the basics first.

few posibilitys the oil level sensor if fitted has failed failey cheap, the oil pressure sensor has failed failey cheap, the oil filter is blocked change it imediatly, the oil thickness is to thin due to wat youve put in so change it, the oil is dieluted with fuel a sereos problem as somthing is leaking into the oil, is the oil white this means water is geting into the oil expencive, the oil pump is worn quite expencive, the whole engin is worn very expencive, start with the cheap easy diy stuff , change the oil+filter think you need 5w 30 oil for the focus then do the level /pressure sensor there normally a spanner job. good luk

may be a faulty or bunged up oil light switch. remove the switch & squirt some wd40 or de-greaser in the small hole on the switch, re-fit it & try it.
