Oil pressure light. Yikes!

OK, I haven't posted here for a long time as my car has been good to me lately. Today, I drove my 9-5 Arc (V6) from an elevation of 200 feet to 4850 feet. Basically drove from Beaverton, Oregon to Mt. Hood's Timberline Lodge. When we pulled into the parking lot at the lodge and with the engine at idle the warning ding and the oil pressure light on! I revved it up to just over 1000 RPM and the light went out. Back to idle and the light on again, solid on. Shut off the engine, let it sit about a minute and started it, at idle, light on again. Oil is Pennzoil full-synthetic 5w-30 and a NAPA 1516 filter. Oil has 800 miles on it. Car cooled down since we were there quite a while, left the Lodge and drove the scenic drive (Highway 35) to Hood River and then down the Columbia Gorge at speeds up 80 MPH. Never saw the oil light come on again, even when stuck in Portland City traffic idling in the 85 degree temperatures. Engine sounds fine. Very concerned. Any advice? Only 96K miles and never abused.
