It's a short most likely in the dash panel. When the ignition switch is off, the power should be terminated with the exception of a couple of things such as the clock etc. We've owned a lot of Toyota's and that's a first to me that it's "normal" as stated by the previous person. NEVER had one that stayed on when the ignition is in the off position!

Sounds like a oil pressure sending unit going bad. Check the pressure with a gage and if it is good replace sensor.

the light might be broken. dry changing the oil, but don't waste the oil you removed.
