Did you reset the light when you changed the oil? If not just reset it and don't worry about it.

You are still carrying enough pressure, right?

Yeah, the reset is only for when your oil needs changed, which goes off of engine revolutions. If your check engine oil light is on then like Argonand Cracker said, bad sensor in pan or low pressure. What is your oil pressure at?

as of right now the gauge reads just below the 60 mark.. thats good right? and if it needs to be reset how would you do that?

turn the key on all the way without starting the engine, and press the gas pedal 3 times, turn the key off.

Loosing power should not effect the OLS, the system that tells you when to change the oil.
When you reset the signal did you push the pedal to the floor all 3 times?
