I stalled my car today by accident, I turned it on after about 2 seconds and the oil light stayed on. I checked my oil level and the oil level is good. I tried turning the car off and back on but the light didn't go away. The light goes away while driving at around 2500rpms but comes back on above or below 2500rpms. I'm currently not driving the car with the oil light on. What could be the issue?

Update: car was cold light wasn't on, car warmed up a little bit and the light came back on, talked to about 3 mechanics and all are saying it's just the sensor considering the car is running fine, no odd noises and oil levels are good. Also considering I just got an oil change 1000km ago

Probably a sensor however if the sensor on a Mazda 3 measures pressure then it might be an issue. Others may want to chime in.

If if happened right after a stall, there could be a chunk of schmoo that got lodged into it and/or it could have yanked on the wiring harness to it if it's not properly fastened. If heat is affecting it, then something is very intermittent. Start with a new sensor, it's easy to get at. If it continues to happen, then you'll have to verify wiring continuity. Check if the connector and plug have clean contacts, too.
