Default Oil sign problem

I have a 2007 hummer h3 with 116k miles , recently I had the oil flash on my dash on annd it says oil and dinging none stop. I checked the oil level , it’s good, I even went and replace the oil pressure sensor and it still happen. What’s weird is when I drive it goes away but as soon as I stop. It come up and start dinging and that only happen when I drive it for a bit so when it’s hot

what could be the problem. I didn’t do an oil change yet cus it’s not it’s time because I was tryin to figure out what the problem is . Any help I will appreciate it

You didn't answer the 2nd question? To clarify: "WHAT OIL">BRAND&SPECS, currently in the engine?

oh sorry I didn’t see it. I either use ams oil 5w-30 fully synthetic or mobile one 5w-30 full synthetic and been using them for years with no issue until now

What Oil Filter are you currently using? Is this the same brand and model Filter you used before this issue started?

Not really, you have an Alpha (V8) and the OP has an I5. Different motors.
