Red oil light flickering
While driving from NYC to Boston yesterday, my red oil light flickered a few times. It only happened when I was idle in traffic, and the flickering was so quick that I would have missed it had I not been paying attention. I googled the issue and it seems like E46 owners reported a similar issue but there is no final answer (replies range from STOP THE CAR AND WALK BACK HOME to "BMW tech told me to ignore it"). A relatively common diagnosis is the wrong grade of oil, which could be the issue as I just had the oil changed at an indie shop in NYC (my first time there but they were recommended by my Boston shop that was solid)
Has anyone had a similar problem? Should I get it checked out in Boston or drive back to NYC?
