Hello guys!

I have a BMW 316i 2004 (N42B18A; 115hp) and I changed several things over the course of 3-4 weeks (have this car for about 7 weeks now). I changed the oil filter housing gasket, valve cover gasket, another gasket that I forgot the name of, the oil sump gasket, the oil level sensor, an engine mount and even my dipstick because the other one got stuck all the time. This cost me around 800 bucks including labour and oil. I'm just 5 days in and I had the light come up yesterday when shutting off my engine and then it didn't come back all day. This morning it turned on when driving and it went away and did not come back when shutting off. I checked my oil level this morning and it's just where it was (above the max a bit.) because I forgot that there was still some oil in the filter but that's not a big deal.:blah: Right now I just want to know why in the living hell does this light come on ? I have a feeling that the connector of the sensor is oily and was not cleaned but I'm not sure. Btw, all my parts are OEM including the sensor from HELLA

As mentioned, all parts are OEM from BMW and the sensor (just like the original) is from Hella. I can verify the connector afterwards at home. And I think well actually I'm positive that is has taken a beating.
