It sounds like a faulty sensor as the car is too new to have any major issues unless its done huge mileage,it needs to be looked at by a tech to sort it as its not easy to diagnose over the net

Engine is running fine. Oil level is good. Oil light comes on and off at random. Engine isn't knocking and runs great. Recently changed to GTX extended milage oil. Problem developed

The oil light comes on when the oil pressure sensor detects low oil pressure. The amount of oil has little to with it, although very low oil levels can cause loss of oil pressure. Since you aren't getting knocking, chances are the oil pressure sensor is defective. Replace it and monitor the situation closely. This could be a serious condition if allowed to escalated and it turns out to be an oil pressure issue.

Oil light keeps coming on when there is oil, how to fix sensor light

The light is likely fine. There is a sensor on the engine that senses the oil pressure. Either the sensor has gone bad, or you have low oil pressure.
Replacing the sensor isn't difficult, but if you have low oil pressure, that can cause the whole engine to go bad, and cost you a whole lot.

Take it to a mechanic and have them measure the oil pressure. If it's ok, they can replace the sensor and you'll be fine.

It reads codes po300 po300 po522 but it runs perfect sometimes I need to press fuel pedal to start?

code p 0300 refers to random/multiple cylinder misfires detected ===causes spark plugs ---HT leads ---injector/s--ignition coil/s---low compression---wiring
code p 0522 refers to engine oil pressure sensor/switch--low voltage ===causes wiring short to ground ---engine oil pressure sensor /switch---ECM
for the first code having to alter the accelerator position ( which tells the ECM to let in more fuel indicates either a low pressure in the fuel manifold or that the injectors need cleaning
At high way speeds when the engine appears to be running good , it is still possible to have random misfires caused by low fuel pressures and /or dirty injector tips
It would be a good idea to check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge ,then replace the oil pressure sensor/switch

The sensor is near the oil filter , you should remove it and fit a pressure gauge in it's place, start the engine and make sure the oil pressure is ok if so fit a new sensor.

Have a 2003 toyota corolla and oil pressure light came on we changed oil and now its on again what could it be?

If you just changed the oil, therefore we can assume that the oil level is correct at this time and that the correct oil viscosity (5W-20 or 5W-30) was used. Are there any unusual noises coming from the engine? Like, maybe "tapping" or "squeaking" sounds? If so, then the oil pump may have gone bad and is not supplying adequate oil pressure to the engine. Continued use of the vehicle can result in serious engine damage. Have the oil pressure checked by a shop ASAP.

If the vehicle is running normally and no unusual noises are heard, then the oil pressure sensor (a.k.a. oil pressure sending unit) may be sending a false signal to the dash "idiot light". Replace the oil pressure switch.

Hope this helps.

Have a Nice Day !!!

The oil light in my 2003 Neon keeps coming on.

it is most definitely the oil pressure sender!

standing in front of your car, look behind your engine from above, below the head and screwed into the block on the right side is the sensor.

Low oil pressure light keeps coming on

check if there is too much oil. over filling the engine with oil causes the oil to foam which leads to loss of oil pressure. it could also be the oil pressure sensor
