I would suspect a corroded or frayed wire before I suspected the wrong oil..

Well Jiffy Lube never gave me the little sticker and when I went back to complain and get the car re-checked the gentleman kept the pink receipt. So far since I got my car back from the shop and the mechanic changed the oil and filter the light has not come back on... I would like to know what the true issue was at hand but for right now all I have to go on is "wrong oil". tskk....

i'm having the same problem with my 03 sxt with 152,000 miles but i just went to change the oil and found that my oil plug head is stripped and was wondering if someone had a good idea on how to get it out

Since it shouldn't be torqued to infinity, perhaps a pair of vise-grips?

Do you mean the head is rounded off or the pan has no threads?

The head is rounded. So wrenches or sockets just slip so I was going to try vice grips but didn't know if that was a good idea or not

Either vise grips or a pipe wrench. The owner before me too the car to a bunch or idiots that rounded the head of my oil drain plug and it was on so tight I had to get another oil pan because if I would've tried to take it out, I would've cracked the pan.
