Unhappy low oil pressure

ok when I was over in California my dad took my monte in for a oil change they used wix oil filter and I don't know what type of oil. the light didn't come on till the time to change the oil in its intraval. I let it sit till now I have used wix oil filters before and a light didn't come on. it had pleanty of oil in the engine granted it felt like it was smoother than normal. even though I went a thousand miles over the 2500 mile marker that I usually do the oil. the old oil still felt fine but you know the warn style of feel to it. I am a little stumped on the low oil pressure light coming on. it freaked me out never had a engine fail for oil before. right now I am letting it drain completely before putting more oil in. it bugs me to be honest it is the 3.5 k code flexfuel engine. I haven't run ethanol init for the longest time so I doubt it would be that. even though gas has a 10% mix of it. it is frustrating to be honest having one the last gen and this happens. looked it up it was closer to one of the few hundred rolling off the line. I don't want to get rid of the engine if all possible
