Do what Alec says, get a proper guage on there.

The warning light does NOT monitor the oil LEVEL, it monitors the pressure. If the light is on when idling when the engine is cold, something is wrong.
Your mechanic is half right, the light may come on at idle when the car is very very HOT, but is ok if it goes out when raising the revs.
