Honestly, even though PP 5w-30 was not the best oil for this car, I don't think it should have caused the oil light to come on. I suspect the OP's engine has some problems brewing.
I would agree. I have heard some say that BMW's oil system for the 4.4 in this one wasn't all that great?
PP 5W-30 is a very fine oil, it in and of itself may be thinner but the engine is another matter. Oil pressure lights only come on when pressure is dangerously low and damage can occur, do they not?
