e46 yellow oil light - solution?....zero pennies.
Discussion
My oil warning light had been coming on each day for 10 seconds or so after starting the car each time, this has been going on for quite a while.
Adding this here - was a little vague - this happens with oil in to max not just on min. Thanks Muz for pointing my poor explanation..
3 days ago I happened to turn the engine off whilst this warning light was on. And it hasn't come back on after start up since.
The light comes on when min has been reached, so the sensor is still working... I wonder if this solves it for anyone else?
Same thing happened for me with passenger side bulb 'warning light'.... it just went off after a few days, that was 6 months ago.
Car is a 330c motorsport.

Er, top it up with oil.
Mine used to do that - yellow light means it's getting low, red light means put some oil in now or I'll seize...
They all use oil - I found using the best, fully synthetic oil I could find alleviated the problem....
