And stayed on for about 20 minutes.

Why do you think? The temperature came down from about 99 to 59C, but why would that trip the oil gauge? :-\

(my oil level is fine btw)

Water got in the oil pressure sending unit connector. Dry it out completely  (connector and boot) and re-check.

Also pack the connector with dielectric grease to prevent this from happening in the future.

Dude, I know how you feel.  Similar situation happened to me a couple of weeks ago:
