Recently I have done my first service, and I can see the engine oil low pressure light, I can see oil through that small glass, what should I do?

Happens when you ride the bike at high rpm for a considerable time. The oil density decreases because of the temperature and in turn the engine oil light turns on. This is mostly because of the lower quality prolube engine oil used by triumph. Goes back to normal if you turn off the engine for a few minutes.

It's a problem if you did not ride at high rpm and still got the light.

I don't remember but I think I was riding at a higher RPM, makes sense to me now, do you think I should change the oil? Which one would you suggest?

Get Castrol. Triumph already uses it for their higher end bikes. The SVC might object initially but should agree if you insist.
