Oil lights are often confused as level indicators. They are not. They are pressure indicators, usually set at very low pressures such as 2-5 psi before they light. My guess is that the filter is clogged or media collapsed, or the pickup screen to the oil pump is plugged.

Running with little or now oil pressure will toast an engine. I'd look this over very carefully before trying to run it again. Did the engine run fine before it stalled? Or did it sieze?
