2002 BMW X5 164K.
I had the oil changed the other day when I had my alternator replaced. Everything was fine for about 5 days then yesterday as I came to a stop the low oil pressure light came on along with a scary warning to shut the engine off!
As I put the car in park the light went off. What I have found is that at rpm higher than idle (700rpm) the light goes off. every time I come to a stop as the rpm drops below 1000 the light starts to flicker.
Today being Sunday I cna't take it anywhere. Is it a bad sensor or what else? BTW the oil level is right up to the max mark on dip stick.
I'm only half way to my goal of 300,000 miles with this engine... If you say its the engine failing then , I'll need another drink!
