Default High oil light?

Yesterday I was driving a little aggressive and the odometer started blinking with an oil can and the message "HI".

Does this mean something is really wrong? Is it too much oil? or maybe a clogged oil filter (3100 miles on the filter)?

Or what?

Hey Baz,

You could be on to something. It was 95 degrees f. here that day. The car was parked for about ten minutes, just long enough for convection heat to build very high. As the car was driven, the temp drops to normal. [sm=exactly.gif]

I could here the fan running as well.
