Smitty says, Andy I'm willing to bet you are experiencing loss of oil pressure.  As for the light the new oil switch means nothing.  I have gone through a half dozen of them in succesion from NAPA.  Some slow to return to zero and some that never returned to zero.  I'm a firm believer in warning lights (as long as they are working right).  So when I shut the key off I wait till the engine has died and then turn the key back on.  If the red light isn't there in a couple of seconds, the switch goes back.  your condition should be diagnosed with a gage.
