Get an oil pressure gauge and tap it into the motor somewhere. Close the hood after routing the line safely into the car. Watch the oil pressure gauge when the light comes on. Could be low oil pressure or just a bad oil pressure sending unit/gauge. This is the only way to find out really after you've checked the obvious like oil level.
