In the very unlikely case the rotors are not the issue, I myself would just replace the oil switch as it is not expensive. Check the lead to see it is not grounding out either.

Local store has them





Of course pull the wheels and check the brake rotors first.

You guys are likely correct but just in case have them do a boroscope of the IMS through the sump plug hole. You can't be too careful. Oh yeah, and make sure the radiators are clear of debris.
