I am not clear why the oil level light would come on after you turn the engine off, but I do know that there is an anti-drainback valve in the oil filter housing, so that the oil does not all run down into the pan when the engine stops. I wonder whether that drain-back valve is functioning correctly?

It is also conceivable that you got a bad oil level sensor when the new one was installed.
