the orange oil light on the right came on so i to put some oil in and it on max, and when the engine gets up to temperture the oil light come back on does any one no what its doin ??? and how it can be fixed ??

N/as have a oil level sensor on the side of the sump and are notorious for failing. 2 fixes really, get one 2nd hand and swap next time you do an oil change (new ones are v. expensive) or disconect the plug and bridge the 2 terminals together with some wire. This will stop the light from coming on but you will need to make sure you check your oil regularly as the light will never come on!

thank you i will try replacing it

Be advised, the sensor sits in the sump, so you will have to drain the oil before changing the sensor out. If you dont want to disturb it, then as ej2_sir as suggested !
