Does anyone with a MCS have the problem of a low oil pressure icon when driving in stop and go traffic (0-5-10-0 mph)?? The warning will stay on until at freeway driving speeds again. Oil level full.
Thanks, bobej

Any of the red indicators mean stop immediately!

From the owner's manual:
"Stop immediately. Switch off engine. Check the engine oil and top off as required. (You already did this) Please call the nearest MINI center."

..and have that puppy flatbedded back where they can fix it.
You have low oil pressure at idle and it can be a serious problem, or it could be a bad sensor. In any case, don't risk further damage.
