PT Cruiser 2.2L

It diesn't do this during the first 15 minutes of driving, both in the morning on the way to work and in the evening on the way home. After what I assume is enough time for the oil to heat up and lose some viscocity, everytime I brake and come to a stop, the little genie oil lamp blinks on and off, dings incessantly. If I put it in neutral and rev the engine a little, it goes away. I filled the oil over the fill mark, but it didn't help. The Internet said to clean my oil sender with brake cleaner, but I can't get to it. I need to change my oil. The oil is black. Maybe the oil is just old and broken down.
