This happened to me in my 1994 Mitsubishi Galant ES. This was a very annoying problem to me. I lived with it for about a year and then the oil change guy said my oil pan plug was stripped and I was leaking oil. It was probably leaking oil all that time and I was just adding more all the time. He suggested a new oil pan and put a temporary plug in. What I ended up doing was taking it to another mechanic who was able to re-thread the plug, replace the oil sensor (and my carbon cannister fell out so he tie-wrapped it but that's another story). After this I have not had this problem. Bottom line is you may just need to replace the oil sensor.

Change to a heavier grade motor oil, higher numbers.
