When a person turns their car on, the dashboard lights should turn off. However, if they do not, it means there is a problems. An oil light will stay on if there is low oil in a car.
Less than 10 seconds at start up. Should not ever come on while driving.

No.
Possibly bad oil pump, too heavy weight of oil, incorrect filter. Sensor for the oil light could malfunction
It does not have a reset. If the oil light is on, the sensor has failed or the oil pressure is too low.It does not have a reset. If the oil light is on, the sensor has failed or the oil pressure is too low.
Low oil, low oil pressure, failed oil pressure sensor.
The light you refer to is not a low oil level light. It indicates low oil pressure. You may have plenty of oil in the engine but you have low oil pressure. Can be weak oil pump, worn bearings, or can be just a defective oil pressure sending unit.
2001 doesn't have a reset for the oil, the oil pump might be going out though.
It takes a while before the system registers that there is good oil in your car/truck.
it starts but the oil light stay on
It can.
Have your oil pressure checked asap. Likely to be the oil pressure switch, but could be oil pump or engine wear
