Before you go to the workshop, it's best to check your oil to see if it's too dark or too thin. If so, you could try changing the oil first. That would definitely be cheaper than an expensive repair. And there is a chance that it will solve your problem. But only do this if you're sure what you're doing, otherwise it's better to have a professional do it.

Hi! It could be the oil level sensor or another issue. The first thing I would do is check the oil level. If it's fine, a diagnostic tool can help identify the problem. You might need to visit a mechanic if the light continues to persist. Others might share similar experiences too. Best of luck!
Before you take your car to the garage, you could try resetting the oil service light. Sometimes, the light stays on even after an oil change due to a system glitch. If the light persists after the reset, then it's best to have a professional mechanic diagnose the issue.

In my case, there was a little too much engine oil in it. That drives itself away 🤭🙈
Overfilling your engine with oil can cause serious damage to your car's engine. It's always best to check the oil level regularly and ensure it's within the recommended range. If you're unsure, it's always safer to have a professional mechanic check it for you. Do you have any further questions or updates on your situation?

Hello, I had a similar problem with my 2007 BMW 1 Series. Please note that I have little experience with car repairs. However, I took the car to the garage and it turned out that the oil level sensor was defective. I paid 215 euros to have it repaired. But since then the problem has gone away.
